The computer produces different graphics in relation to the questions.

In 1968, he received his doctorate under Max Bense with a dissertation thesis on Generative Computer Graphics, which at the time was the first doctoral thesis worldwide on this subject. His early work from the 1960s is almost entirely in the collection of the Kunsthalle Bremen.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;15185&#8243; full_width=&#8221;1&#8243; opacity=&#8221;100&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition at DAM Projects, Berlin<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14317,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[362],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-blogs","entry","clearfix","entry-post-module-layout-sidebar-right","thumbnail-color-tone-light","entry-post","entry-standard","entry-post-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15184"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15184"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15184\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15186,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15184\/revisions\/15186"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14317"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dam.org\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
