Reviews:
“Micro Arts has produced some stunningly original work.” Personal Computer World 1985.
“The alternative society is still throbbing at Micro Arts.” Sinclair User February 1985
This work was the first piece in an interactive series of 7 originally distributed to the public on data cassette. The inner said:
“A colourful experience for you and your VDU. These mobile graphics can be colour coded to fit your décor. The order, timing and repetition can also be controlled, giving a responsive art display to enhance your next dinner or cocktail party, union meeting or conference.”
The 1984 MA1 release was a sequence of 7 algorithmic art programs, with menu control for colour, length, looping, and a way to select a new order of the 7 pieces. This is #1 Lines from Micro Arts Group MA1 “Abstract Originals” by Geoff Davis 1984. This is a mid sequence still from the evolving display.
Micro Art Group ground-breaking early work was recently exhibited June 2021 at LCB Depot arts centre, Leicester UK, during the launch of the Computer Arts Archive.
