A. Michael Noll, Professor Emeritus of the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism der University of Southern California, Los Angeles, worked at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Inc. (Bell Labs) in the 1960s performing research on human factors and speech processing technology. During the summer of 1962, he programmed his initial digital computer art, what is now known as algorithmic art. At Bell Labs, he devised three-dimensional displays and input devices for use with an interactive digital computer system. He designed raster scanned-display computer graphics with buffer memory in the late 1960s, and invented interactive 3D force-feedback for human-machine communication around 1970, what is today known as haptic. His presentation is titled The Beginnings of Digital Art at Bell Labs.
In July 2024, the art meets science – Foundation Herbert W. Franke invited around 60 guests of honour from all over the world to the Generative Art Summit at the Akademie der Künste in Berlin. The video documentations of the event with around 350 participants are published on HYPERRAUM.TV, the TV channel for science and technology.
The art meets science – Foundation Herbert W. Franke hosted and organized the Generative Art Summit Berlin in 2024, July. On the first day, the Summit Conference focused on presenting the pioneers of the 20th century. The program, entitled “Hall of Fame”, was structured chronologically and led the participants through the fantastic world of generative art – starting with the 1950s, when this technoid art form was still created using analogue techniques. The overview of the first day of the conference extended to the pioneers at the end of the 20th century, when computer art, which emerged in the 1960s, had already diversified into different areas: animation, interactive art forms, multimedia and the world of virtual reality.
The Foundation would like to thank the ZKM and Margit Rosen for producing the video for the Generative Art Summit.
