 Karl Otto Götz
«Density 10: 3: 2: 1»

The largest of Götz’ raster pictures (200x260cm) was based on a program that determined the changing densities of the single fields, and could convey these in a format comparable with an electronic TV picture. Götz explained: ‘As we know, the television picture is made up of c. 450,000 image dots. For the model image 'Density 10: 3: 2: 1', some 400,000 picture elements (pixels) were arranged and drawn, with only two light levels being used, namely black and white elements, but with four different degrees of density.’
