Acknowledgements For as long as I can remember, my most meaningful encounters with history emerged from first-hand accounts – autobiographies, diaries, articles, oral histories, scratchy recordings, and scraps of paper. This dissertation is a product of my encounters with many people, who made history a constant presence in my life. I am grateful to an expansive community of people who have assisted me with this project. This dissertation would not have been possible without the many people who sat down with me for countless hours to record their oral histories: Cesar Ascarrunz, Francisco Camplis, Luis Cervantes, Susan Cervantes, Maruja Cid, Carlos Cordova, Daniel del Solar, Martha Estrella, Juan Fuentes, Rupert Garcia, Yolanda Garfias Woo, Amelia “Mia” Galaviz de Gonzalez, Juan Gonzales, José Ramón Lerma, Andres Lopez, Yolanda Lopez, Carlos Loarca, Alejandro Murguía, Michael Nolan, Patricia Rodriguez, Peter Rodriguez, Nina Serrano, and René Yañez.

We advance artists’ ideas to improve the quality of life for everyone through a united cultural sector whose contributions are vital and valued.

  • Pionners of Computer Art, II RCM GALERIE
    Pionners of Computer Art, II RCM GALERIE Pioneers of Computer Art Colette Bangert, Aldo Giorgini, Jean-Pierre Hebert, Desmond Paul Henry, Hervé Huitric, Ken Knowlton, Charles Mattox, Manfred Mohr, Monique Nahas, Jacques Palumbo, Edward Zajec 20 June - 31 July 2019 RCM Galerie Monique Nahas (b. 1940) and and Hervé Huitric (b. 1945) co-counded the Groupe Art et Informatique de Vincennes and were among the preeminent artists working with computers in France in the late 1960s and 1970s. Their work explores how computer algorithms can be transformed into colored images. They first worked with a CAE 510 and then an IBM 1130 writing programs in Algol and then Fortran that created random variations in constructivist color schemes. Instead of working on a palette with rules of transition, the duo considered color as a continuous variable, while treating color as a set of percentages of its basic components. Although interested in how the computer changed the rules of art, their works in the early seventies are highly influenced by pontilism, especially Georges Seurat. The duo's first work used a coded sequence of letters then printed on a plotter. R for Red, B for Blue etc. Each square was then hand painted. The couple then developed a stencil method, using the punch cards and screenprinting artwork using a plotter. The couple exhibited widely in the 1970s, including the New Tendency 5 exhibition in Zagreb.
