This is one of several artworks by Charles and Dorothy Mattox that were probably shown at a Computer Arts Society conference and exhibition held in 1973. Entitled Interact: Machine:Man:Society, the event took place at Edinburgh University. The text of the catalogue says:
"The graphics displayed can be considered not only as works in their own right but also as sketches for items of sculpture. The works were produced using the DART1 system of David Caulkins.
CHARLES MATTOX is Professor of Sculpture at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He is the American editor of LEONARDO, the journal of art and science and he is well-known for his kinetic and sound-making sculptures of striking and simple design.
DOROTHY MATTOX, his wife, collaborated on some of the works. Both have recently taken up ballooning."
