Vera Molnar, 25 Carrès (25 Squares),
1989/90Plotterzeichnung Ca. 44 x 44 cm, Unikat Vera Molnar is a pioneer in the field of Digital Art. She mixed her constructivist approach with intentional interferences in the mathematic system. Her admiration for Paul Klee is present in her artworks as well as in her essays concerning art. In 1959 she created the "Machine imaginaire" to carry out algorithmic calculations at a time when computers did not even exist and concentrated early on the aesthetic possibilities of Digital Art.

Examples? ROLL THE DICE Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Musikalisches Würfelspiel" (Musical Dice Game) 1757 is an early example of a genera&ve system based on randomness.
