Computer Heads
1984
Cibachrome print
Computer Heads is a series of digital artworks created during Nessim’s residency in the TIME VIdeo Information Services department with the Norpak IPS-2 Telidon computer systems. Nessim was given access to the offices in the TIME Incorporated building, after hours—she spent her nights creating digital artworks. There was a setup with a 35mm or polaroid camera across from the NORPAK computer to take a picture of the finished work. You would then get a slide which you could print from.
The prints were made in Philadelphia on a Cibachrome printer. This process is not used anymore.
