By September 1979, these systems had advanced significantly, making it possible to construct increasingly complex three-dimensional virtual worlds on screen, including techniques such as texture mapping and matrix transformations. Within this technical context, Em was able to create images such as Transjovian Pipeline<\/em>, demonstrating what was then technically possible with framebuffer-based image generation\u2014an image that would become a widely reproduced example of digital art throughout the 1980s.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
