Remove the internal monitor cable from J7 on the CBM and plug it into J6 on the graphics board. Connect a cable from the now-empty monitor port at J7 on the CBM to J5 on the graphics board.

Each musical piece of the CBM 8032 AV performance utilises its own graphics algorithm, focusing on one set of shapes or movements. Within each algorithm, different incoming notes modify the behaviour of that specific algorithm.

Early units contained leftover 8032/96 PCBs in order to get rid of remaining stock; after these were used up, Commodore equipped the machines with a new PCB that replaced the old triple-voltage 4116 DRAMs with more modern types.

The 8032 Series will explore the beauty of simple graphics and sound, using outdated technology from the early 1980’s. It is an exercise in reduction, a reenactment of the past, informed by the artistic mindset of the 21st century.

When a second monitor is connected, one can interact with the CBM using its standard character display on the internal CBM monitor while simultaneously displaying the new graphics mode on the external monitor.

CBM 8032 AV is a journey into the beauty of abstract graphics and sound, created with five iconic early personal computers. The work is about the ambivalence between a contemporary aesthetic and the usage of obsolete limited technology from more than forty years ago.

The Low Speed Graphik is a 100% compatible clone of the EF9365/9366-based HSG graphics board for PET/CBM 4000 or 8000 series computers from 1982. It implements all the features, including the high speed vector generation, basic expansion, light pen usage as well as the support for the internal and/or external monitor.

CBW 8032 commodore COMPUTER GENERAL DESCRIPTION: The Commodore CBM 8032 is the practical answer to your business computing needs. This efficient system gives you 32K of User Memory (RAM), expandable to 96K.

The CBM 8032 AV project is an exploration of the beauty of simple graphics and sound, using five Commodore CBM 8032 computers. The work is about the ambivalence between a contemporary aesthetic and the use of obsolete and limited technology from 40 years ago.
