A 1960s black-and-white photograph of a woman with short hair dressed in contemporary fashion (a sweater with partially rolled up sleeves, long dark skirt) standing next to a pile of 62,500 punched cards neatly stacked in rows, one of her hands resting on the row closest to her, the other on the tallest, middle row.
