Recreation of Andy Warhol’s Amiga, based on original objects found in the museum’s archives.
In the summer of 1985, Commodore International commissioned Andy Warhol to use new graphic arts software to create digital works as a part of their promotion of the Amiga 1000 home computer. Commodore went bankrupt in 1994, and Warhol’s digital images were frozen on obsolete hard drives and disks in the archives of the museum for nearly 20 years. In 2014, contemporary artist Cory Arcangel organized a collaboration with Carnegie Mellon University, Carnegie Museum of Art, and The Warhol to recover the lost drawings from the original floppy disks. With the Amiga 1000 interactive, visitors can experience Warhol’s digital drawings on a model created by The Warhol in collaboration with local design studio Iontank.
