Drawing, The Chromo Cube, 1980
This is a Drawing. It is dated 1980 and we acquired it in 1981. Its medium is computer ink plotter print on paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
The Chromo Cube was designed to showcase the capabilities of the software Color to apply color gradients to a 3-D rendering. The software could create smooth color transitions by incrementally adjusting the dot density; the program also allowed for up to 25 different dot patterns.
It is credited Gift of Beck & Jung.
