About this book
German-english edition
In 1971, Herbert W. Franke presented Computergrafik – Computerkunst / Computer Graphics – Computer Art), the first compendium of an art form that was just beginning to emerge. His presentation of methodological, technical and artistic developments and their prospective future – also in the context of a rational art theory – gave Franke a profound influence on generative artists. To this day, his reflections influence our understanding of the dynamic interactions between the fields of art, science and technology. In this volume, Franke examines more than 80 works of computer art, many of which are now viewed as icons of a new art movement. This early observation offers impressive insights into the history of computer-generated art, which is highly topical today.
- Standard work on the early history of computer graphics
