Computer art pioneer Ernest Edmonds shows a generative work publicly for the first time. He writes of the exhibition:

“I did not show such a work publicly until 1985, but in many ways, that showing was the culmination of much of the work of the 1970s. “Fragments” was the generative work shown at Exhibiting Space” in London.
