Reclining Nude
1982-84

The Norpak IPS-2 computer’s Telidon videotex software had just six drawing modes – a dot, a line, an arc, a polygon, a circle and a rectangle. On her last evening as artist-in-residence, Nessim realised that she could also make animations of her work. The resulting video, Face to Face, is shown on the monitor nearby.
