:meowartist: 40 Years ago, Andy Warhol helped debut the #Commodore #Amiga Computer.

That's right, it's 40 years to this days that the Amiga 1000 was launched. The Amiga’s cultural impact was bolstered by its flashy public debut celebration, which emerged as one of the most surreal moments in #tech #history. [included a live art session with #Andy #Warhol]….

On July 23, 1984, Commodore hosted a black-tie launch event in New York City at Lincoln Center, complete with an orchestra & live hardware demonstrations. After some initial guidance from “resident Amiga artist” Jack Haeger, Warhol began by taking a “digital snapshot” of Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry before overlaying it with color fills using Amiga’s ProPaint V27 software — a precursor to illustration programs like MSPaint. “You found it to be spontaneous?” Haeger prods Warhol at the demo’s outset. “Yeah it’s great. It’s such a great thing,” Warhol responded flatly as onlookers laughed. The recording of Warhol’s portrait session is only a few minutes long, but it marked the beginning of a brand ambassadorship that lasted until the artist’s death in 1987. In 1985, Commodore gifted an Amiga 1000 to Warhol, which he used to craft a series of virtual drawings including variations on his famous Campbell’s soup can series, Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus & flowers. In an interview with the magazine Amiga World the following year, Warhol elaborated more on his interest in the dawn of digital art. <https://web.archive.org/web/20070202071633/http://www.artnode.org/text/andywarhol/amigandy.pdf> “The thing I like most about doing this kind of work on the Amiga is that it looks like my work in other media,” he said at the time. When asked about his thoughts on how computers would affect “mass art as opposed to high art,” Warhol made sure to stipulate that “mass art is high art.”
[ImageSource: GenerationXVideoArchive] Warhol was fascinated with the artistic implications of digital computers. Although believed lost for decades, in 2014 the Andy Warhol Museum announced the rediscovery of multiple experimental Amiga projects stored on floppy disks in the museum’s archives. <https://press.warhol.org/press/the-andy-warhol-museum-announces-newly-discovered-amiga-experiments/> “In the images, we see a mature artist who had spent about 50 years developing a specific hand-to-eye coordination now suddenly grappling with the bizarre new sensation of a mouse in his palm held several inches from the screen,” the museum’s chief archivist Matt Wrbican said at the time. “No doubt he resisted the urge to physically touch the screen–it had to be enormously frustrating, but it also marked a huge transformation in our culture.” “Do you think it will push the artists? Do you think that people will be inclined to use all the different components of the art, music, video, etc.?” Amiga World editor-in-chief Guy Wright asked during the 1986 interview. “That’s the best part about it. I guess you can… An artist can really do the whole thing,” Warhol responded. “Actually, he can make a film with everything on it, music and sound and art… everything.”
[ImageSource: Generationamiga] The Amiga 1000, released in 1985 July by Commodore International, was a groundbreaking machine that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in terms of graphics, multimedia capabilities and multitasking. This was a game-changer for artists, designers and anyone working with visual media. The Amiga’s graphics capabilities were so advanced that it found its way into professional video editing studios and even Hollywood special effects production. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga_1000> Processor: • 68000 @ 7-14 MHz • 68020 @ 7-20 MHz • 68030 @ 14-50 MHz The A1000 has a socketed 68000 @ 7.09 MHz [PAL] or 7.16 MHz [NTSC]. Upgrading the processor requires the use of a processor board. Many boards designed for the A500 works perfectly in the A1000, either connected to the side expansion port or to the 68000 socket. Memory: • 256 kB Kickstart RAM (Writable Control Store) • up to 1 MB Chip RAM • up to 32 MB Fast RAM on processor cards • up to 8 MB Fast RAM on side expansion cards The A1000 has 256 kB Chip RAM soldered to its motherboard which can be expanded to 512 kB with a memory expansion card. Chip RAM can be expanded to 1 MB with third party expansions such as the Rejuvenator. Fast RAM can be added either via the side expansion connector or via processor boards. Custom chips: • Agnus - OCS display controller • Denise - OCS graphics coprocessor • Paula - audio and I/O controller • Gary - system address decoder
