“Variations on 9 squares” by Roger Vilder
My first attemp to recode historic computer art is based on a work from Roger Vilder. He is one of the first artists who worked with computer graphics. “Graphics and Computer Art” magazine published some prints of his “Variation on 9 Squares” in June 1976 (Vol. 1, No. 2).
