Nice to see that my 40 yrs old article has aged well. During my extensive research in pre-internet times I connected with many personalities of the 1st hour by phone, letters, and IRL. A pdf is available here: archive.org/details/ETC2766 and here: monoskop.org/images/d/d7/Die…
One of the best early articles on computer art. In 1986, @TeleCulture looked back at the first decade of computer art (1965–1975). He traces the shift from scientist led exhibitions to artists seriously using computers as a creative medium. It’s still one of the clearest overviews of the early years of digital art.

Grateful for the journey which started 45+ yrs ago creating Pix-Art in BASIC with a small video game machine to using contemporary AI imaging technology. And grateful for art lovers collecting all 8 Sounds of Vision. Thx @Palancus & @digitalartfan.bsky.social, highly appreciated.

Computer Graphics & Art Yearbook 1980/81 edited by Grace Hertlein is available as pdf. Julien Gachadoat @v3ga was so kind to scan & post it. Happy to see my Pix-Art article (co-author Zsuzsa Molnar) after 45 years. Front & back covers by @HerbertWFranke, see the mouthwatering TOC

Just saw the documentation of DiceGL, a collaborative project of two generative artists, Vera Molnar and Julien Gachadoat @v3ga. It must have been a special moment for both artists, representing two generations, to work together with such remarkable results. 🔗🔽

Go, see this show! Always loved Harold Cohen's work. We'll miss having his art around.
Coming soon | #HaroldCohen: Painting About Representation (1962–71) Opening November 12, #GazelliArtHouse New York presents the first solo exhibition of Harold Cohen at the gallery’s #NewYork location, bringing together 17 works from a transformative decade in his practice.

Some samples of the books we are offering. These have a heavy German focus. Don't worry, there are many English language books too, and some French and Japanese...
With mixed feelings, we've begun the process of letting go of our collection of artworks, books, catalogs, etc, assembled over more than 50 years. Recently, our Harold Cohen collection was acquired in a private transaction. Step by step, piece by piece, we'll move the others on.
