Antennae, Tool & Die Co. (ATDC) was a New York based digital art collective comprising three principals who were active in New York in the 1990s. (Hank Corwin, the American film editor, [e.g. "Natural Born Killers"] was one of the three partners in ATDC.)

The lot, circa 1990s, includes a sealed pack of four floppy disks containing a selection of original digital artworks, along with an ATDC work case. The possible digital artworks can be viewed at this link: https://www.vallots.com/video-previews

There were approximately 100 packs of these floppies produced. It is believed that few survived and even fewer intact examples exist.

The disks also hold the Kickstand code, a program developed by ATDC that generates a digital art experience, and is a very early computer code-based artwork.

ATDC was at the forefront of digital art, though their output and surviving examples of their work are scarce. As far as we know this is the only example of their work to become publicly available in decades and ATDC work anticipated the utilization of computers and computer code as an art form and NFTs by more than a quarter century
