In 1970 Pierre Gaudibert, director of Animation-Recherche-Confrontation (ARC) at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, visited the computer center of the Meteorology Institute in Paris, Avenue Rapp, where Manfred Mohr conducted his research in computer graphics. Gaudibert was so impressed by what he saw that he subsequently invited Mohr to prepare a show of his work at the Museum. An exhibition by Manfred Mohr, featuring for the first time, a one-person show in a museum of works entirely calculated by a digital computer and drawn by a plotter. The show consisted of 28 drawings framed and displayed on the wall; a Benson 1286 drawing machine (plotter) and its magnetic tape drive installed at the museum; a large white panel, a sort of guest book, where visitors could write comments of whatever they wished to say. Catalog printed for this occasion containts texts by three authors and all 28 drawings from the show. ARC – Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, 11 May – 6 June 197148 pages About the exhibition
