Barbara Nessim: An Artful Life (V&A, 2013; Bard Graduate Center Gallery, 2014-15) 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.
