- The Computer: A Tool for Thought-Experiments Bibliography
The author argues that computers, as symbol-processing machines, can simulate mental acts of creative activity and enable artists to design autonomous machines that perform artistic activities and produce art objects. He frames this with references to Hegel and Malina and surveys artists' responses to machines, including Moholy-Nagy and LeWitt. He presents technical case studies of electronic and digital imaging, notably Woody and Steina Vasulka's experiments with the Rutt-Etna synthesizer and a mid-1970s image articulator with A/D and D/A converters and an ALU; themes include dematerialization and aesthetic simulation.

- Final Report to the National Endowment of the Arts Tools
Final Project Report to the National Endowment of the Arts concerning control structures for digital computers used in art-making; the report contrasts analog and digital approaches and proposes rich non-linguistic inputs and the simulation of analog systems within digital computing. The project team recorded roughly eight years of preliminary use of slide potentiometers, dials, joysticks and data tablets, diagnosed limited human-computer degrees of freedom, and set goals to create dynamic, flexible, user-programmable multidimensional controls with constructive feedback that are easy to construct, documentable for moderate electronic skills and affordable. The work produced four device categories: pressure-sensitive keyboards, sensing clothing, force-feedback dials and time-based computer variables.
