Zsofia Valyi-Nagy ‘Re-Enacts’ Iconic Vera Molnar Plotter Drawing Series on Authentic Vintage Hardware

American art historian (and HOLO collaborator) Zsofia Valyi-Nagy demos her ‘re-enactment’ of Vera Molnar’s Lettres de ma mère (1981-1991) on a vintage Tektronix 4052 computer at Humboldt University, Berlin.
