Front and back cover of catalog of exhibition Typewriter Art, Half a Century of Experiment, by Alan Riddell, exhibition at Concourse Gallery, Polytechnic of Central London, 1974.

“I was in the typewriter art exhibition in London, the catalog cover of which you also display. But the date should be 1974 – they forgot to put the year on the cover. The exhibition was initially in Edinburgh in 1973, then in London in 1974, and then Alan Riddell used the material in his book Typewriter Art in 1975. Unfortunately Alan died in 1977, a great loss. The Edinburgh catalog cover is the same design, except that it says in all lower case: “new 57 gallery, 105 rose street, Edinburgh nov 17 – dec 6, 1973”. When the catalog was revised for the London exhibition they put the dates and months but forgot the year, which was, to repeat, 1974.” Andrew Belsey

Get ready for The Berlin ‘leg’ of the International Teletext Art Festival. Five of my most tacky submissions will be appearing on German teletext in the coming few weeks, so if you’re in the vicinity of Bavaria, check it out. Our Roberto is still confused about all this teletext stuff, though…

Grid 4 by Simon Parritt, 1975 or possibly 1971 (according to Igor Siddiqui in Slashed Interiors: Text/Space) or perhaps some other early 70’s year as suggested in Typewriter Art.

Chris Sievey – Camouflage, 1983. This video shows a ZX81-program that runs in sync with the song. Sieve programmed the software as well. It available on the B-side of the 7″ vinyl, as a harsh audiostream of data. This audio could be loaded as software on the ZX81. More info.

Btw – the ZX81 turned 31 years old yesterday!
