Two years before his death, the master of pop art Andy Wahrol, as well as one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century, also worked in the art of computer graphics. Who could imagine that to find a treasure enough to dust off the old floppy disks kept in a museum?
Let's talk about a series of portraits that were made with the Amiga 1000, a computer decidedly avant-garde in those years, able to create images with up to 4096 colors, then the other computers it showed about 16. Through a camera connected to the computer, before Warhol was taking a picture and then edit it through the software to design this nell'Amiga.
After more than twenty years the works of that period have been recovered thanks to the work of Cory Arcangel who has recovered from one of the old plastic discs 12 digital works signed by the artist in 1985 never seen until now.
