The authors herein present an introduction to the extraordinary and wide-ranging work of analog drawing machine artist Jack Tait. Now 88 and still active as an artist and theorist, that work has been previously recognized only within a relatively small circle of specialists within his native Britain; but given the current explosion of interest in techno-art, it has seemed appropriate to the authors to employ the communication format to introduce his art to a global audience: a body of work addressing the currently vital questions of the analog versus the digital, and the random versus the deterministic.
