Description
13/9/65 Nr. 7 Zufälliger Polygonzug — random polygon: one of Nake's canonical 1965 images, generated by his COMPART ER56 program with random choices of polygon vertices, directions, and line lengths, and drawn by the Zuse Graphomat Z64. This impression is from the silkscreen edition of 40 made after the drawing; an estimated 20–30 original pen-and-ink plots of the motif also exist, which is why the medium line matters here.
