Software: Information Technology: Its New Meaning for Art, catalogue (1970)

Software was a show curated by an artist and critic Jack Burnham for the Jewish Museum in Brooklyn, New York City, 16 September – 8 November 1970, and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., 16 December 1970 – 14 February 1971. The show put together computers and conceptual artists, linking them through the idea of software as a process or a program to be carried out by a machine or, why not, by the audience based on “instruction lines” formulated by the artist.

Participating artists: Vito Acconci, David Antin, Architecture Group Machine M.I.T., John Baldessari, Robert Barry, Linda Berris, Donald Burgy, Paul Conly, Agnes Denes, Robert Duncan Enzmann, Carl Fernbach-Flarsheim, John Godyear, Hans Haacke, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Nam June Paik, Alex Razdow, Sonia Sheridan, Evander D.

Martin Šperka (ed.): Computer Graphics in Fine Arts, catalogue (1993) [Slovak/English]

“Original intention of the organizers of this exhibition was to present artists from Central European region: Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Austria and Germany. Later, with the help of Milan Adamciak, who contacted us with participants of the Ars Electroncia in Linz and Jan Sekal who lives in Paris, we extended the exhibition from the included works of artists from France, Holland, Switzerland and Great Britain. This is the first exhibition of computer art in Slovakia. We can see here ‘classic’ works of computer art in Czecho-Slovakia, from Zdeňka Čechová, Daniel Fischer, Miroslav Klivař, Jozef Jankovič, world-known pioneer of computer art Vera Molnar (Hungarian living in Paris), and other well known artists. The artifacts exhibited are generated on different computers, with different software (custom or commercial programs), computational methods (from computer painting through image processing, deterministic or stochastic, abstract or real patterns, of Euclidian or fractal geometry) and post-processing (photography of CRT monitor, laser painting, computer luminography, mixed media, or painting on canvas). Artifacts addressing different themes and renderings present a brief review of potential of computer applications in the arts.” (Martin Šperka)
