He had a public session using the Amiga.
Also he was a very "post-modern" artist, into techy things, and computers, especially with graphical capabilities were a new thing back then. So it was much more on-point than endorsing toothpaste. Besides, with Andy Warhol doing it, would he endorse toothpaste, that in itself could/would have been a sort of post-modern performance. (Compared to some regular actor or whatever endorsing something.)
- guenthert 2y agoWell, as impressive as the Amiga was, there were more capable graphical workstations available (for a price) even at that time. If he just wanted to create digital art, he would have had the means to do so. Perhaps it was his understanding as creator of pop-art, that he would restrict himself to means available to the broader populace?
- actionfromafar 2y agoI think the chips just happened to fall that way. Was Andy Warhol approached by other computer vendors? Probably not.
