Chicken by Boris Groh
Early computer art. From the site of the Victoria & Albert Museum:
The artist, Ben Laposky, used an oscilloscope to manipulate electronic waves that appeared on the small fluorescent screen. An oscilloscope is a device for displaying the wave shape of an electric signal, commonly used for electrical testing purposes. The waves would have been constantly moving and undulating on the display, and there would have been no way of recording these movements on paper at this time. It was only through long exposure photography that the artist was able to record these fleeting moments, allowing us to see them decades later.
The black-and-white ones are from 1952, the colored one is from 1960.
From Svobodnyi Smekh, 1906.
