In 1965, Italian artist and designer Bruno Munari released the Tetracono with an event and exhibition at the Danese Milano showroom, inviting spectators to “...meet the Tetracono” as if it were a person. Instead, Tetracono is a product, an austere 15-cm black steel cube housing four aluminum cones, each painted half-red and half-green, designed to spin at four distinct speedson an 18-minute cycle. Its function is to “show forms while they are in the process of becoming.” Stampa Programmata, or “programmed printing,” is a composite of four different moments in the cycle of the Tetracono, as the individual cyan, magenta, yellow, and black plates.
