In 1983 Juan Atkins and Rik Davis released Enter, the first Cybotron album. On the sleeve a figure passes through a pane of glass and comes apart on the other side. We drew it again, with a pen plotter.
The sleeve went through Atkinson dithering first, at 342 by 342 pixels. That is the height of the original Macintosh screen, and the dither is the one Bill Atkinson wrote for it. At that size highlights blow clean, shadows go solid, and the midtones, the glass and the dissolving body, carry the pattern.
Then every run of lit pixels in a row became one stroke of white gel pen on black card, 0.72 mm per pixel, drawn row by row by an AxiDraw on an 11 by 17 inch sheet.
For the record itself, read Juan Atkins in his own words: Techno Is Technology.
