Each invited artist would create 100 signed prints that would be collated and bound into 100 issues. The theme of the issue was \"Available Light\" and I wrote an Atari program called \"Trans-Lux.\" I printed the code out 100 times on a dot matrix printer and signed each copy. The pages were bound into the magazine with tractor feed holes still attached. I had forgotten completely about the magazine and did not have a copy. I was alerted to a copy for sale by Google search and had to pay for a copy of my own work.\n\u003eI would love your help recreating this work on an Atari emulator with a web interface. I have not touched an Atari or written BASIC for more than 30 years. I would love to see it again and there is a chance it may be shown in and art exhibition.\n\nHal wrote back the next day:\n\n\u003eHere are some photos of your Youtube video of Trans Lux with a diffuser in front of the screen. It did not take much to keep artists happy in those days, especially if they were stoned. Computers were a complete mystery to them, and it was also before Photoshop or screen savers.\n\n![photo](photo1.jpg)\n![photo](photo2.jpg)\n![photo](photo2.jpg)\n\nVideo of the program in action: https://youtu.be/2aa_DkAcmdc\n\nI interviewed Hal for ANTIC: The Atari 8-Bit Podcast in 2017. Listen to it, he's an interesting guy. http://ataripodcast.libsyn.com/antic-interview-304-hal-glicksman-datamost\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsavetz%2Ftranslux","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fsavetz%2Ftranslux","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fsavetz%2Ftranslux/lists"}
