P-133b1972

Plotter drawing ink on paper20 x 26 in / 51 x 66 cm

Mohr’s work bridges handmade and machine-calculated art, evolving from geometric experiments to hard-edge painting by 1967, which set the stage for his computer use. His fascination with electronics is reflected in his schematic-like shapes. This drawing, created with a FORTRAN program, features an alphabet of elements resembling electronic circuits. From his Early Algorithms phase (1969-72), it showcases "formalism" in software and left-to-right composition influenced by the Benson plotter. The algorithm generates a random circuit layout, using broken lines and rectangles to fill spaces.
