This work has the title “Red Tree”, as noted by Kawano in the exhibition catalogue for “20th Century Computer Art: Beginnings and Developments. The Work and Thought of Pioneers and Contemporary Practitioners of Algorithmic Art” at the Tama Art University Museum in Tokyo [Kawano, 2006]. However, it is also known as “Untitled”, as it is part of the Art Ex Machina Portfolio from 1972, which does not include the work titles [cf. V&A Collection, n. d.].
