Item description from seller

First edition, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Pat, Lloyd Sumner, 20 Feb 69", two months after publication. This anthology was the first of its kind, presenting over 60 computer-generated illustrations as art in their own right. The book collects Sumner's most significant works, each of which is accompanied by a meditation on the image by the author. Lloyd Sumner (1943-1946) used two computers, the Burroughs B5500 and the Calcomp 565, to create the illustrations. "Each drawing was preconceived and sketched out by hand. Then mathematical formulae or geometric pattern manipulations were found to represent the desired lines" (p. 11). Before this publication, Sumner exhibited in Tel Aviv, Zagreb, Montreal, and at the Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition in London in 1968. Octavo. Stylized computer-drawn text on title page, illustrations in the text, some in colour. Original red boards, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. With majority of preserved jacket. Couple of small marks to covers; unclipped jacket with significant loss, but holding: a near-fine copy in poor jacket.…
