@outofprintarchive I did my art college thesis in 1980-81ish on (among other things and people) John Whitney’s art. But that was John Whitney the father of this younger John Whitney. The thesis was essentially about the representation of music as visual dynamic art, but I was still just about a teenager, and for some reason I created it as a limited run of about ten or so A5 stiff-covered colour photocopied (what amounts to) zines (which was oddly prescient considering I’d much later become a games magazine art editor much later).

Here’s the John Whitney I’m on about, he’s been a huge influence on me:

This was published last in 1968!
Found it on lines forum.
What a visionary. Aesthetically, philosophically… anything.
The remarks about real-time are very interesting.
