Introduction
Curvilinear Perspective carries computational imagery onto fabric. The Whitney catalogues the 1979 work as a unique heat-transfer print on fabric, distinguishing its material form from the reproducibility of a digital image.

Curvilinear Perspective: work and context
ANTI-AI ARCHIVE · Revised 2026-10-02
Work, material and process
The collection classifies the work as a textile measuring approximately 92.1 × 91.4 cm. Its later presentation in Programmed placed it alongside algorithmic drawings. The work date of 1979 remains distinct from its collection and display history in 2018.

Historical significance and questions
Editorial interpretation: digital art need not terminate at a screen or sheet of paper. Fabric brings computational imagery into relations of bodily scale and texture. An archive needs to document that transfer and the resulting object, not only the programming label.
