1950: The Era of the Electronic Image Preceding the widespread availability of mainframe computers, innovative technologists transformed the oscilloscope into an artistic tool, manipulating electronic signals into some of the earliest examples of digital art. More below.

2 - Meditations 11 by Stan VanderBeek. VanderBeek was an artist-in-residence at Bell Labs in the late 60s where he created his series of computer-animated movies (Poem Fields). This print was most likely created using BEFLIX - Ken Knowlton's programming language for computer animations. Which you can try out yourself at tools.ragnardigital.art

5 - An untitled original work by Ken Knowlton and Hiroshi Kawano. They combined prints to make a new work, both signing the piece. Original works by Kawano are quite rare. I'm not sure this one has ever been seen before.

14 years ago today, Odd Future (@ofwgkta) dropped "Oldie"—one of their most iconic videos that almost didn't happen. It only did because @tylerthecreator refused to let anyone turn the camera off.⁠ ⁠ The members of the group told the story of that day in an oral history published by The Ringer in 2022. When Odd Future descended on Milk Studios in Chelsea, the session unraveled fast. The XXL staff "were understandably trying to contain a group of rowdy kids," Mike G recalled, "but we weren't having it."⁠ ⁠ Someone plugged in an iPhone, "Oldie" came through the speakers, and director Lance Bangs kept his camera rolling over objections from the room. The moment Tyler realized what was happening, he called the shots: "No, f*ck that, Lance, keep shooting this sh*t.” What followed was a single, unedited take of the entire 10-minute posse cut performed live.⁠ ⁠ For @earlxsweat, freshly back from Samoa and still finding his footing, the whole day had a surreal quality: "It just felt like a cartoon, in the sense that n****s just was doin' whatever they wanted to do." For Tyler, zooming out in real time, the stakes were clearer: “I’ve seen music documentaries, this might be the last time everyone's together so we need to document this."⁠ ⁠ He was right. "A f*ckin' balloon popped that night, and we all went in our own directions. That was the last time we was all together like that. Still,” Tyler explained. Frank, looking back, arrived at the same place: "The atmosphere reminds me of how it feels to be in a room full of musicians where everyone is improvising and for a brief period it's pure magic. It's the same rush."⁠ ⁠ Bangs edited the footage on a laptop during a red-eye to Portland. It now sits at over 56 million views. It cost nothing.⁠

new work Feb 2026

this needs to be in children’s books

A new work in Through Tubes, We Now Are™ is out: "The Unworn Hours", one live code piece and six stills. The live code is kind of the origin of them all. Somewhere in there, the current time is quietly embedded ⏰ Thanks to @cdxart for collecting some of the pieces!
