On the topic of computer-generated Mondrians, in 1966 a researcher at Bell Labs used a computer to produce a semi-random version of Mondrian's "Composition With Lines" (1917). Interestingly, he found that only 28% of people could correctly identify the computer-generated picture and 59% preferred the computer-generated picture. The researcher points out that "Both patterns were conceived by humans, although certain features of the computer-generated picture were decided by a programmed random algorithm. The computer functioned only as a medium performing its operations under the complete control of the computer program written by the programmer-artist."
