Referring to Christopher Tyler’s statement in Ruth Leavitt’s Computer and Art, Rudolf Arnheim wrote in his 1987 book, New Essays on the Psychology of Art, that he was influenced here by a striking remark he found in an article by a California computer artist, Christopher William Tyler (5, p. 88). Arnheim notes that Tyler observed that "one of the trends of recent art has been the tendency to operate by selecting from an environment entities that have significance to the artist rather than creating from scratch on a tabula rasa … The instruments which are thought of as tools at the disposal of the artist become part of the environment in which the art is produced.” (p. 127) «New Essays on the Psychology of Art».
