Starting this sunday: Vera, a legacy ! The largest exposition of Vera Molnar in The Netherlands and Belgium /1

Across installations and large-scale screens, Robak builds dense, layered tableaux that feel closer to baroque altarpieces than to game screenshots, updating ideas of the sublime for an LED and engine-driven image culture. /3

His works push commercial 3D aesthetics to a point where spectacle tips into critique, and the “too muchness” of rendered detail becomes the real subject of the piece.​ In addition, he creates a mirror of our contemporary society. That is true art! /2

Watching the endless variations of @kimasendorf’s ‘Raster und Spektrum’, presented by @nguyenwahed.

Today, her plotter drawings reside in major collections like the Whitney Museum. Interested in a plotterwork of Joan? Send me a dm! Want to learn more, check the website https://t.co/4Zdy9ZqR5Z /5

Beyond print, she transferred digital imagery onto textiles, pioneering algorithmic weaving that materialized code as fabric. This crossover from digital output to tangible art blurred the boundary between virtual and tactile realms /4

Her process involved CALCOMP drum plotters—machines that translated numeric data into intricate lines on paper. This mechanical drawing brought digital algorithms into the physical world, bridging technology and traditional art-making methods /3

Using FORTRAN on IBM mainframes, she generated algorithmic patterns that map natural phenomena like wind and light with precision. These drawings are a fusion of code and craft.​ /2

Besides Vera Molnar, another grand lady was active in the early digital art scene. Joan Truckenbrod: she coded already in the 1970s to create plotterworks. Her story⬇️ /1

At times, one listens to a podcast for entertainment, and at other times for insight. This is a podcast from @verse_works that truly provides a behind-the-scenes look. How @eli_schein and @ArtBasel are giving digital art its deserved spotlight.

“Protocol art” has become a term for describing the work of artists who don’t just make images but devise systems that govern how images appear, circulate, and take on meaning. Very good article about @harmvddorpel from @briandroitcour

minted Drawings for a Monument #103. Amazing how a few lines of code can feel like a milestone. Grateful to @jeffgdavis @ArtOnBlockchain @DaCaldera and the @artblocks_io family for shaping five years of creativity and connection 🪄 Here’s to what endures — the art, and the people

Do you want to know why Vera Molnar's Lettre de ma mere is so highly regarded? Watch this ->

How do you draw a line with a computer? This task has not always been as simple as clicking a mouse or swiping your finger across a screen. Very good article from @z_s_v_n about Vera Molnar @Artforum https://t.co/n2qNoEuzAI

Now and then, one of their artworks becomes available. If you are interested, please send a DM /8

Their collaboration pushed the boundaries of what computers could create artistically, laying foundational ideas for digital images. The legacy of Harmon and Knowlton inspire digital artists who blend code and creativity to explore the intersection of technology and art /5

Harmon’s work in visual perception helped translate human facial features into data, influencing both art and neuroscience research. https://t.co/K8WDyb9fNf /4

Knowlton developed the programming language BEFLIX, one of the first languages designed specifically for bitmap computer animation, enabling artists to create dynamic visuals https://t.co/47kKcMPRHy /3

In 1966, their famous piece "Studies in Perception I" used computer algorithms to transform a portrait into a mosaic of symbols, bridging photography and digital abstraction /2
