This book tells the story of Art1, a computer program developed in 1968 at the University of New Mexico by electrical engineer Richard Williams with the encouragement of art department chair and renowned kinetic artist Charles Mattox, who wanted to make UNM a center of high-tech creativity. In a wider sense, Art1 was an attempt to bridge the cultural divide between art and science. Artists on the one hand were working in avant-garde modes beyond the comprehension of most people, just as scientists were using ever more arcane theories to describe the universe; the notion of a shared common culture that could draw the two together seemed remote in the modern age. UNM art faculty member Frederick Hammersley took a strong interest in Art1 and in two years made more than 150 works using it. The book features 50 illustrations by Hammersley, Charles Mattox, Katherine Nash, and James Hill and interviews with Williams and Hill. The story of Art1 and its role in early digital creativity documents for the first time its far-reaching impact.

Very Good jacket. Santa Fe. 2020. March 2020. Museum of New Mexico Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780890136553. Foreword by Joseph Traugott. 50 color plates, 9½ x 10½. 160 pages. hardcover. keywords: Art Computer Art New Mexico. DESCRIPTION-This book tells the story of Art1, a computer program developed in 1968 at the University of New Mexico with the encouragement of art department chair and renowned kinetic artist Charles Mattox, who wanted to make the institution a center of high-tech creativity. Electrical engineer Richard Williams designed the software called Art1 for an IBM 360 computer. The program enabled artists who knew nothing about computers to create artworks on a large mainframe machine, which would execute a limited set of Fortran commands. The program sent output to a line printer-a device that printed letters, numbers, and a few mathematical symbols. Williams instructed the artists and then he set them free to explore the program. During this experimental period, the artists began to use Art1 as a medium and helped shape its transformation by providing feedback to programmers on ways to improve its use. Art1 met with some success among a circle of artists, who used it to create hundreds of works. This is interfacing of artists with computer engineers represents a unique and largely undocumented period in the evolution of digital art. Its use by artists eventually spread beyond Albuquerque to Minneapolis and even southern England before fading out of use in 1974 and 1975. UNM art faculty member Frederick Hammersley, one of the most important Hard-Edge abstract painters of the postwar period, took a strong interest in Art1 and in two years made more than 150 works using it-more than any other artist. The advent of Art1 marked an important phase of Hammersley's creativity. This book features 50 works by Hammersley, Duane Palyka, Katherine Nash, and James Hill and interviews with Williams, Palyka, and Hill. The story of Art1 and its role in early digital creativity documents for the first time its far-reaching impact. inventory #45583.
