Work from the hard drive

Once the computer was made accessible by the common people, new forms of art work was introduced to the digital media. The calculative machines were used as a primary tool to create works that were in some ways futuristic by appearance.

Computer art, however, was not entirely met with positive feedback, as most works of computer art was left without credit (from well known artists) due to an anti-technology sentiment from counter-culturalists of the 1960s-1970s.

Lillian Schwartz's Pixillation was an image made entirely out of pixels, consisting of abstract imagery.

John Whitney's Catalog was a short film made by using outdated military computer equipment.

William Letham's The Evolution of Form is a series of complex images of three denominational objects which are "sculpted" by the computer.
