Ed. Ruth Leavitt, Harmony Books, New York, p. 4\u20138. (excerpt)<\/p>\n<p>The power of the computer in art is that it can play a variety of roles, many of them cybernetic, or &#8216;brain-like&#8217;. The computer, like any tool or machine, extends human capabilities. But it is unique in that it extends the power of the mind as well as the hand. Hence, a clear distinction must be made between this brain-like function and the output instrumentalities (like film, video, photography, holography, kinetic sculpture, graphics, light art, etc.) through which this power is expressed. This explains why the computer is not an art medium as such, and why the phrase &#8216;computer art,&#8217; if used to convey this meaning, is a misnomer. Properly defined, the role of the computer is that of a key cybernetic component in a host medium, art form, or art-generating system where it performs a variety of functions, some of them far more sophisticated than others from a cybernetic standpoint. In other words, some of them have more to do with the brain than the hand, and in this respect are more portentous in their long-term implications for art. And it is these cybernetic implications that interest me the most.<\/p>\n<p>For example, one artist might use the computer for its speed, precision, and implacable tirelessness; another for its ability to imitate biological, physiological, or psychological stimulus\/response interactions; another for its ability to simulate other kinds of art; another as a way of mediating the flow of energy and information within a transductive system (as when sound ignites the visual kinetics on a CRT or video display); another for its ability to regulate precise and fast-moving performances (as in a kinetic laser system); another for its ability to calculate the minute &#8216;iterations-with-a-difference&#8217; of a spiralgraphic-like composition; and another for its ability to calculate a hologram, or the small differences of imagery in a stereo pair.<\/p>\n<p>My program GRAF\/D does nothing but draw straight lines in grid-like patterns. I don&#8217;t doubt there are thousands of artists who could draw similar graphics by hand if they were of a mind to. But I couldn&#8217;t\u2014or more precisely, wouldn&#8217;t\u2014because I&#8217;d either be climbing the walls, or making blotches on the next to the last line. Although this use of the computer can hardly be called cybernetic, it is still a sufficient excuse to use it. Mere convenience is a justification, just as we use machines to do many things we are able to do without them. But we use them nevertheless\u2014and why not? And why not use the computer just for its convenience when making certain kinds of art?[\/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;16139&#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 css=&#8221;&#8221;]Ohio (USA), 1917 \u2013 Massachusetts (USA), 1997<\/p>\n<p>Robert W. Mallary was a visionary American artist who significantly influenced the art world of the 20th century. Raised in Berkeley, California, he began his artistic education in Mexico City. In the 1950s and 1960s, Mallary established himself as an abstract expressionist sculptor, known for his innovative Neo-Dada or &#8220;junk art&#8221; sculptures made from found materials and urban debris.<br \/>\nIn the late 1960s, Mallary turned to computer art and became a pioneer in this field. In 1968, he developed the groundbreaking computer sculpture program TRAN2, which allowed him to describe three-dimensional shapes in the computer by layering two-dimensional forms. \u2028\u2028That same year, he created &#8220;Quad 1,&#8221; one of the world&#8217;s first computer-generated sculptures.<br \/>\nIn the 1970s and 1980s, Mallary continued his work with computer graphics, creating innovative plotter drawings. These works demonstrated his ongoing exploration of the connection between art and technology. His belief that &#8220;the future of art lies in technology&#8221; was documented in a 1992 film.<br \/>\nIn addition to his artistic work, Mallary was an influential teacher at institutions including the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and the University of California, Los Angeles and is considered one of the first American artists to teach a course on computer graphics at a university.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Mallary&#8217;s work has been exhibited, among others, at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; the Mayor Gallery, London; Allan Stone Projects, New York; Hauser &amp; Wirth, Z\u00fcrich; and the S\u00e3o Paulo Biennial.<br \/>\nHis work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C.; Tate, London; the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=&#8221;References&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1589892115708-2-2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;16137&#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 css=&#8221;&#8221;]Mallary, R.
