A very early digital print (an inkjet print) created in 1990 with an Amiga personal computer

 

Exploring the ideas in my symposium paper of the same year, Thinking of oneself as a computer, published in Leonardo:

• What does it mean to think of yourself as a computer?

A landmark, widely-published paper

 

It is paired with Thinking of Myself as a Computer, 1989 (from a photo of the artist by Claire Thompson):
