The story of some early computer art drawings in 1965 is told. It is a story of randomness. Computer art is viewed here as the programming of classes of aesthetic objects. In the mid 1960s, information aesthetics was a powerful and radical theory that had some influence on constructive and concrete forms of art in Europe. A connection is drawn to computer supported works by A. Michael Noll in the US, and Georg Nees in Germany. "Experiment and tendency" is identified as an important principle still valid today. The concept of the algorithmic sign appears at the horizon. Digital media are claimed to be explorations of algorithmic signs.
