Florida International University has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the university to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone. You call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, created electronically by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.
   Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work and he just wanted to help them to some extent.
   A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs, to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needs an expensive laser printer.
