  • The art formerly known as computer art (Donnerstag, 27.09. 14:00 - 15:30 Uhr, Raum SFG 1030)
    Veranstalter: Frieder Nake
    Digital computers have been used for the generation of works of fine art since the mid-1960s. Since then tremendous change and progress have occured, both in form and content. Computer art, digital art, (new) media art, software art, interactive art, net art, algorithmic art are a few labels under which these movements are known. Their common ground is the use of computers, otherwise they may be quite diverse.
    Computer art started when computing science had barely become an established academic discipline. Therefore, a better understanding of what software is and what it does is linked with a better understanding of what computer generated art is.
