Ein Pionier lässt grüßen: OUBEYs frühe Computerkunst

Ich erinnere mich bis heute daran, wie begeistert OUBEY im Sommer 1985 davon erzählte, dass im piekfeinen New Yorker Lincoln Center ein ganz neuer Computer mit für die damalige Zeit überwältigenden Multimedia-Fähigkeiten vorgestellt worden war.

Nur zu gerne hätte OUBEY damals bereits selbst einen solchen Amiga besessen.
