In the 1980s, the so-called \u201cpersonal computer\u201d began to bring computing into the homes of private people. Soon graphic displays and interfaces became standard, and with them 3D computer graphics. Artists in this period worked with an expanding array of high-level software packages, some continuing the explorations of early computer art, but also introducing novel forms of expression, and the beginnings of interactivity.<\/p>\n
