    Frieder Nake was one of the first programmers in 1965 to publicly share freely designed computer graphics produced on digital computers, along with his colleague George Nees. The graphics were based on the interplay between macro and micro aesthetic structures and details mediated by random numbers. Nake programmed these graphics first in machine languages on an SEL ER56 computer and later in languages like ALGOL 60 and Fortran IV on other computers like an IBM 360. One program visualized numerical results from stochastic matrices by allocating characters or colors, while another randomly drew polygons with many randomly generated sides and directions called "Polygonzüge".

    «Polygon Drawings»

    Along with George Nees, Max Bense’s student Frieder Nake was in 1965 among the first programmers to
    give the general public an opportunity of scrutinizing freely designed computer graphics produced on
    digital computers. The graphics were based on the interplay between a macro-aesthetic structure, a
    micro-aesthetic details and mediating random numbers. They were programmed first in a machine-
    based language (on SEL ER56), later in ALGOL 60 (on Telefunken TR4) and Fortran IV as well as PL/) (on
    IBM 360). One of the programs randomly chose a stochastic matrix, raised the quantities to powers, and
    then visualized the numerical results by allocating characters or colours according to their amount. For
    «Polygonzüge» a polygon is drawn randomly with many randomly generated sides and directions.
