“Charles Csuri organized and participated the Interactive Sound and Visual Systems exhibition, which included the installation of a large computer system with which visitors could interact. In the catalogue introduction, Csuri states, “Interdisciplinary approaches to problem solving represent the frontiers of research and education in the modern university.” The Interactive Sound and Visual Systems exhibition was held in the Hopkins Gallery, Hopkins Hall, The Ohio State University. The exhibition had to be closed early due to political demonstrations and subsequent riots on campus. Only this small catalogue remains to document the exhibition.”

Comment (0)Dominic Lopes: A Philosophy of Computer Art (2009)
Filed under book | Tags: · aesthetics, art criticism, computer art, digital art, performance, philosophy, video games
What is computer art? Do the concepts we usually employ to talk about art, such as ‘meaning’, ‘form’ or ‘expression’ apply to computer art?
A Philosophy of Computer Art is the first book to explore these questions. Dominic Lopes argues that computer art challenges some of the basic tenets of traditional ways of thinking about and making art and that to understand computer art we need to place particular emphasis on terms such as ‘interactivity’ and ‘user’.
Drawing on a wealth of examples he also explains how the roles of the computer artist and computer art user distinguishes them from makers and spectators of traditional art forms and argues that computer art allows us to understand better the role of technology as an art medium.
