Noll: Computer Composition With Lines, 1964 Noll: Four Computer-Generated Random Patterns Based on the Composition Criteria Of Mondrian's Composition With Lines, 1964 Algorithmic simulation of Mondrian’s painting Composition With Lines created with pseudorandom numbers. When xerographic reproductions of both works were shown to 100 people, the computer-generated picture was preferred to Mondrian by 59. This early investigation of the aesthetics of computer art has become a classic and is described in the published paper by Noll, Human or Machine: A Subjective Comparison of Piet Mondrian's ‘Composition with Lines’ and a Computer–Generated Picture, The Psychological Record, Vol. 16. No. 1, (January 1966), pp. 1-10.
