The drawings were produced by a ZUSE-Graphomat Z64.<\/p>\n<p>The program used a repertoire of signs that were placed on a grid. A function selected one sign from the repertoire and another function selected the following sign based on the previous one and applying probability distribution. In this manner, a chain of signs was generated. The second operation of the program consisted in mapping the chain of signs into the cells of the picture plane. The first sign of the chain was put into the top left-most cell of the picture plane. The second sign of the chain was placed into the next cell, and so forth, until all signs had been put into the picture&#8217;s cells. This mapping operation was carried out according to a specific mapping mode.<\/p>\n<p>For a more detailed description, read this <a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/FN_WalkThroughRaster.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">short essay by Frieder Nake<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243; content_placement=&#8221;default&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15881&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;fade-up&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; full_width=&#8221;1&#8243; hover_effect=&#8221;opacity&#8221; opacity=&#8221;100&#8243; link=&#8221;https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/nake-frieder\/hommage-a-paul-klee\/&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fade-up&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h6><a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/nake-frieder\/hommage-a-paul-klee\/\">Hommage \u00e0 Paul Klee (1965-67)<\/a><\/h6>\n<p>This drawing is one of the most often cited in books and articles about the earliest phase of computer art (mid-1960s).

In the light of the problems we are facing at the end of the 20th century, those are irrelevant questions.<\/p>\n<p>Computers can and should be used in art in order to draw attention to new circumstances and connections and to forget &#8221; art&#8221; .<\/p>\n<p>There is no need for the production of more works of art, particularly no need for &#8221; computer art&#8221; . Art (better: the aesthetic object) comes afterwards (but it does come). Aesthetic information as such is interesting only for the rich and the ruling. For the others (and they are in the majority) it comes &#8221; with&#8221; . Namely with other information. Thus, the interest in computers and art should be the investigation of aesthetic information as part of the investi\u00b7 gation of communication. This investigation should be directed by the needs of the people.<\/p>\n<p>We should not be interested in producing some more nice and beautiful objects by computers. We should be interested in producing a film on, say, the distribution of wealth. Such a film is interesting because of its content; the interest in the content is enhanced by an aesthetically satisfying presentation. That is, the role of the computer in the production and presentation of semantic information which is accompanied by enough aesthetic information is meaningful; the role of the computer in the production of aesthetic information per se and for the making of profit is dangerous and senseless.<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026]<\/p>\n<p>Reiterating the argument: I don&#8217;t see a task for the computer as a source of pictures for the galleries. I do see a task for the computer as a convenient and important tool in the investigation of visual (and other) aesthetic phenomena as part of our daily experience.<\/p>\n<p>As concrete projects to be investigated I propose:<\/p>\n<p>1. The study of the alienation of the artist from his product which is caused by technology in general and by computers in particular (the distance between the artist and his work increases). What are the good, what are the bad effects of the division of labor taking place in art?<\/p>\n<p>2. Investigation of the repertoires of signs used by individual artists and styles in the past and present. Such repertoires have been described occasionally, but not rigorously enough. The emphasis of such a project should be to describe those repertoires (and their various levels) in a way suitable for an application of information aesthetics.<\/p>\n<p>3. Design and performance of experiments to test the significance of aesthetic measures defined so far; perhaps new definition of such measures.<\/p>\n<p>4. Investigation of the importance of aesthetic information in various areas (education, propaganda, environments of work and living). This work would have to be based on a rigorous numerical definition of &#8220;aesthetic information&#8221; .[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;Biography&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1589891935-2-34&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13014&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; full_width=&#8221;1&#8243; opacity=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]Stuttgart (Germany), 1938<\/p>\n<p>Frieder Nake studied mathematics at the Technical University of Stuttgart, where he attended Prof. Max Bense\u2019s lectures on philosophy, semiotics, and aesthetics. In 1964, he created his first computer drawings using a Zuse Graphomat Z64 to which he had access at the Computing Centre of the University. In 1965, he presented his work alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/artists_ui\/artists\/nees-georg\/\">Georg Nees<\/a> in one of the three first exhibitions of computer-generated art in history. Titled <em>Computer-Grafik<\/em>, the show took place at the Wendelin Niedlich Galerie in Stuttgart, from November 5th to the 26th. Between 1966 and 1972 he took part in many exhibitions, among which the seminal <em>Cybernetic Serendipity<\/em> (ICA, London, 1968), curated by Jasia Reichardt, or <em>Proposal for an Experimental Exhibition<\/em> at the 35th Venice Biennale. In 1971 he decided not to produce any more computer art, which he considered would end up catering to the art market. Instead, he focused on research in computer art, computer graphics, and digital media at several universities, such as the University of Toronto (1968), University of Bremen (1972), University of Vienna (1988), University of Oslo (1995), University of Colorado at Boulder (1997, 1998), Northwest Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Xian, Shaanxi, China (2000), University of Aarhus, Denmark (2000, 02, 04, 05), International School of New Media at L\u00fcbeck (2003, 05, 06, 07), University of Basel (2007), Donau-University Krems (2007, 09), and the University of Costa Rica (2009). In 1999, he co-founded with Susanne Grabowski and Matthias Krau\u00df the project <em>compArt: a space for computer art<\/em> (later <em>compArt: Centre of Excellence Digital Art<\/em>), a large online database dedicated to early digital art.
