VERA MOLNÁR (born 1924)
74.320
Paris, 1974

This artwork by Molnár was made using the RESEAU-TO program, which could produce a range of drawings starting from an initial grid of shapes. In this case the program has randomised the number of squares in each group and displaced them so that they are no longer concentric.
