Oscillons / Electronic Abstractions

Ben F. Laposky

Historical context & research account

Laposky generates electronic waveforms with an oscilloscope and records them photographically as abstract images. Before digital computer art becomes established, this practice connects electrical signals, mathematical curves and visual composition. It forms a prehistory of electronic generative aesthetics rather than an instance of contemporary machine learning.
