John Cage: System Artist


This is a piece called "Williams Mix" by John Cage. I particularly liked it because while it is visually appealing, it is also useful. This drawing is an explanation of a musical creation Cage made using magnetic tape. Each number represents a strip of tape and the rest details how to cut and splice it. The fact that it is a byproduct of something is why I enjoy it so much.
