I don't know if this fits, but some of my earliest work was done on a TI59
programmable calculator and printer, working with equations of the form
y=sin(tan(x)) near the limits; I had to hard-program this of course. This
was around 1977; around the same time, I was working in UCSD Pascal at UCI
on a Terak minicomputer, creating text programs that would 'interfere'
with input, as well as programs that would create images on-screen in
relation to text. Again, these were programmed. Earlier, in 1971, I worked
with Charles Strauss' 4-d program at Brown University, creating video
works that involved participants learning to 'drive' through 4-d space
(his program vector-drew a hypercube and used a keyboard and early
joystick for maneuvering). Also in 1971, Gregert Johnson worked with me on
'Typed Glossalalia and Computer Determinism in (sic) Man' - he did the
programming for the time series analysis of some 4000 characters. All of
these examples didn't use existing software, but were directly programmed.
I'm not sure whether you're including these at all, but thought I'd
mention it. - Alan
