Mark Wilson Publishes Drawing with Computers

In what may be the first creative coding book for artists, Mark Wilson published the seminal Drawing with Computers. The book served as manual for anyone to pick up and learn about making art with computers. In the mid-80s when the book was released, there was intrigue and enthusiasm for art by algorithms but it was difficult to learn. Wilson’s book filled this gap and would prove influential to artist and educator Travess Smalley, who spoke to Wilson about the book and much more in his profile on Le Random Editorials.

Also read this piece by Wilson himself on Le Random Editorials, where he reflects on his practice in his own words.
