Robert Mallary: "This rather elongated form as it so happens, is the first product of TRAN2... This was finished in the summer of 1968, and it was finished just in time to ship off to... the first international exhibition of computer art, called Cybernetic Serendipity..."

Cool to see this little guy on film back then! We’ve got another piece related to this showing for the first time in Marfa this year!

One of my favorite pieces from the hoard! Very delicate styrofoam, but it retains the exact dimensions of Quad IV, which is otherwise lost. We were able to get great scans and produce a marble piece that lives at Yale these days.
