Bonus - 

Yup.

Marilyn Abers: The Pool

 

There was no written info on the slide, other than "ACM Siggraph".

But, it doesn't take a genius to know that that means the SIGGRAPH 1983: Exhibition of Computer Art, and their decent archives allowed a rapid identification of this as Marilyn Abers' artwork The Pool.

Fascinating to see how leading edge computer graphics have advanced in 41 years.

Also - Computer art -> 35mm slide -> Comouter scanned image.

Brad de Graf, Payson Stevens: Entropy

 Another early Digital Art, from the Siggraph art show, and we've had others.

This one is Entropy, by Brad de Graf, Payson Stevens.

The Early Days of Computer Graphics

 

It may be crazy-sounding to younglings brought up on XBoxes and Mintendo machines, but this image would once have been white-hot leading edge computer generated imagery.

Probably around 1983.

Bonus - A patient experienced claustrophobia and had a panic attack during a CT scan

Bonus 2 - 

ACM Siggraph 1983

 

Yes, another piece of early computer art. Perhaps this is what evolved into MFT digital art, the latest Emperor's New Clothes.

Apparently, this is Joanne P. Culver's  Ascent. More info here

Bonus 2 - He sees all that we do...

"Ed's Dendrite"

How Strange !

Just been scanning some old boxes, and there are a couple of professionally produces slides marked "ACM 1983 SIGGRAPH"

Some googling reveals that this refers to SIGGRAPH '83: Proceedings of the 10th annual conference on Computer graphics and interactive techniques

July 25th-29th, 1983.
This website has an archive, and actually shows and names this image.

And that website reveals that this image was computer generated, and submitted as a physical print to the event.  I guess that that print was then photographed to create a master slide...which was then duplicated.  I have one of those duplicate slides....and have digitised it so that it can be shared via computer.  How rare.

Bonus - Rabbits in Movies

The march of Artistic Technology

It's rather enlightening at what was cutting edge computer art just 35 years ago. This slide is marked...

 ACM Siggraph 1983 Computer art show

Remember, this the same era as this pioneering LP Cover.  The  artist of the above is Copper Giloth, and  a bit of Googling turns up this and the other artworks at the Siggraph Show.

Bonus - Epidemic of "zombie-like" raccoons in Ohio attributed to distemper
