Copper Giloth : Zgrass Paint Demo, 1980
"I was the first art student to graduate in 1980. . .Tom DeFanti and I had an interactive drawing installation [at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago in the summer of 1980] that allowed visitors to explore my drawing process where I used reflections and rotations of a simple object to create landscapes. In the museum, there was a video game-like console where a visitor could draw a simple object. My program would make versions of the object using rotations and reflec- tions of it and then allow the user to build a more complicated image. On the walls of the gallery were a series of my drawings printed on paper with a plotter that were created from the same program. This software was developed with two fellow graduate students, Dan Sadowski and Patty Harrison, and it was the kind of collaboration that was happening all the time at EVL."
