The Art of Computer Designing
TL;DR — Osamu Sato’s cult book of computer-generated pattern work, from the maker of Eastern Mind.
Osamu Sato, 131 pages.
Sato is best known for Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong Nou and LSD: Dream Emulator — surreal works that used computing as a medium rather than a tool. The Art of Computer Designing is his book of generated pattern and typographic experiment from that period.
A document of early computer art made outside the Western canon, long out of print and mostly known through scans.
