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.
