Reminds me of those early computer graphics works from the 60¹s made by various engineers, scientists and technicians. They usually consisted of printouts using old golf-ball printers, the image being based on Mickey Mouse, a naked woman or a famous face (eg: Kennedy). Those works were not art either. They did have value though, and not just technical value. They showed that whilst many of the people doing those activities had bad taste and constrained contextual awareness that they did recognise the value of the ludic in their ³serious² research activities. They offered evidence that the value of the novel doesn¹t always have to be instrumental. We need to remember that.

Hi Marc, I am not sure I want to call this art. In fact I don't want to. For me it's a very nice craftmanship. Hope you are getting better.
