Eight women who run the machine room in Eighty Columns. All adults, 29 to 58. Top: hand-built 48 × 64 keypunch portraits. The eyes are punched holes, the same upright rectangle as a hole in the card, so expression comes from brows, lids and lines, and age is drawn rather than smoothed away. Below each: the first take, a ComfyUI render reduced to 64 × 94 pixels and 24 colours.
