To my favorite cabal of computer historians: I've been contacted by a colleague of a colleague who is an art historian writing on the work of Chilean artist Guillermo Núñez <https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillermo_N%C3%BA%C3%B1ez>. In the late 1970s, Núñez produced a seriograph (v. similar to a silkscreen) partially depicting what my colleague believes is a piece of computer technology in it. She is trying to identify what the image is of so she can write about it with a bit more specificity. I'm providing a dropbox links to two image files, on of the full seriograph and one that is a close up. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/86iutdvvbkz2814/AAB8IdZ5IMGcK_h4gAiAGG2la?dl=0 CONTEXT: Núñez told the art historian that he used a photo that he had found of "one of those computers that takes up a whole room," then xeroxed it, then superimposed it over his own photograph and used those images to make the serigraph stencil. Thus the image is not very detailed, as its been processed through several kinds of media. It is also like that Núñez put put some pieces of string on the canvas when he printed, and then removed them, so in addition to any wires that may be in the original image, there are also imprints that resemble wires as well. Núñez made the prints in 1977-1979, so the images are from that time period or earlier. He sourced all kinds of images from different countries, usually from magazines and old books. There is no reason to believe the image or the technology represented in Chilean or South American. Obviously, the thing looks like a breadboard. What I don't know is how common place something like this would have been in mid-century computer equipment, what its function might have been, etc. This is all well beyond my area of expertise. There's a bit of writing you can read on the board in the second image. I welcome any comments or thoughts as replies to the group or individually, and I'll pass them on.
