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.
