In his articles "Systems Esthetics" and "Real Time Systems" (published in Artforum in 1968 and 1969, respectively), Jack Burnham already explored a systems approach to art: "A systems viewpoint is focused on the creation of stable, ongoing relationships between organic and non-organic systems". In modified form, this approach still holds a noticeable position in today's critical discourse on digital art.
