The history of digital art

[phoenicorn]

I have this presentation to do pretty soon and it is on digital art. I figured It may be useful to post some of my findings here so we have some kind of record of how this art form came to be and maybe learn from some pioneers. If anyone wishes to add to this thread feel free to do so.

this site seems to have names and dates so I am going to go and varify the information

I remember in 1973 when a teacher brought out a rendition of the Mona Lisa on that green striped paper made up from just numbers. It was his pride and joy. He carefully folded it up along the perforated lines and put it back into its folder. Us kids were amazed – I was 12. Funny how some things stick in your mind.

Interesting to see the chronological advances, but would like to see loads more detail. 1986 looks like a really good year. Shame that ‘famous’ artists haven’t done much more since.
