Andy Warhol lost Amiga collection

[djos]

I got an email yesterday proclaiming that KryoFlux was used to do the recovery and then emulation (WinUAE i assume):

Hi there!

Some of you may be aware of Andy Warhol's attendance at the Amiga computer launch event about 30 years ago. Andy used a preliminary version of GraphiCraft and a digitizer to create a digital picture of Deborah Harry ("Blondie").

Now, after three decades, more pictures made by Andy Warhol on his Amiga 1000 have surfaced. In a combined effort by the Carnegie Mellon University Computer Club and its Frank Ratchye STUDIO for Creative Inquiry and other contributors, KryoFlux was used to create high definition (stream) files of the magnetic information and convert these into ADF sector dumps. Further processing was then applied by loading those images in emulation and extracting the data via the original software Andy used to create the pictures.

We are very proud that KryoFlux was the tool of choice and we are glad that these important artefacts could be preserved before the disks aged beyond repair.

Fore more technial details, here is a document that has been prepared which outlines the process that was applied:

And here are the pictures in the best quality that is available to the public at the moment:
