Digital computers are being applied in various ways in the visual fine arts [1-3]. One way is to use the computer to provide data for the design of a manually executed painting. Z. Sykora [4] obtains from a computer, in accordance with a set of specified rules, instructions on the arrangement of arrays of squares containing geometrical designs. M. Barbadillo makes pictures comprised of variations of shapes contained in an initial modular square. He selects the variations from print-outs of a computer appropriately programmed. M. Thompson has analyzed Barbadillo's procedure in Ref. 5. The sculptor, 0. Beckmann [6] obtains computer print-outs of shapes from a computer on the basis of which he makes his works. The program for the shapes involves the use of a random number generator. Artists also have used various mechanical and electrical display devices developed in connection with computers [1-3]. They involve cathode ray tubes (CRT), optical benches, diaphragm screens or laser beams and, generally, produce images made up of lines. R. I. Land has reported in Leonardo [7] on his work on computer produced color-stereo images on a cathode ray tube, which are made up of lines in different colors. I shall describe below experiments undertaken to produce images in black and white or in color wherein there are smooth gradations of color. The experiments were carried out under the direction of Hein Gravenhorst at the Department of Photography and Cinematography of the Hochschule fur Gestaltung (University of Design) in Kiel, Federal Republic of Germany. In these experiments the Siemens Data Processing System 4004 and a CalComp Drum Plotter were used together with the 'Drakula 4/71 a' computer program that I developed in 1971 to produce line
