Daniel Fischer

Born 1950. Artist. In 1970s he started to use computers. Cooperated with computer engineers Pavol Fischer and Igor Klačanský. Most of his works are line drawings, morphing one shape into another.

Works:
Altamira (1978-), cave bull morphing into sign of infinity, first computer animation in Slovakia. Single frames plotted by CalComp plotter were photographed step by step by an animation camera, then processed by painter's interventions. Fischer: "Úlohou lineárnej transformácie je postihnúť kultúrne kontexty v čase fázovaním premien východiskových kresieb do cieľových, priamo modelovať časové premeny a vizualizovať čas ako fenomén spätý s ľudským bytím."
Solentine Apocalypse (1982), computer-generated illustrations for Slovak edition of the book by J Cortazar.
