VERA MOLNAR

COMPUTER-GENERATED GRAPHIC PRODUCED BY USING RANDOM NUMBER GENERATORS, 1970s

“Whereas they (other artists) begin with an initial set of rules (a grammar) specifying the way parameters are to be varied, I try to elaborate the rules as a work develops.”

“I use the computer to combine forms, hoping that this tool will enable to distance myself from what I have learned, from my cultural heritage and everything else that surrounds me; in brief, from the influences of civilization that define us.”

GEORG NEES

8-CORNER / GENERATIVE COMPUTER GRAPHIC, 1960s

“To produce the graphics, I used a drawing board controlled by a punch tape and a digital computer producing the pilot tape. Each graphic has random parameters. The program for each graphic repeats generative fundamental operations so that the mere repetitions, the aesthetic redundancy, produce the random parametric values of the aesthetic improbability of the graphic during each repetition.

Rule for 8-corner: Distribute eight dots inside the figure square and connect them with a closed straight edge line.”

Mason visualized the desired pattern and then conceived a circuit arrangement which would produce the effect. He worked with an analogue computer in association with an XY plotter. The drawings were executed in black or colored inks.
