Herbert W. Franke – författare

German-english edition>/p>Herbert W. Franke is regarded as one of the world’s first theorists ofalgorithmic processes, artificial intelligence, and digital media. In his publication Kunst und Konstruktion / Art and Construction, it becomes clear that he was a radical pioneer of an ‘artistic substance to technology.’ This volume in the edition presents his idea that future art would be shaped by cooperation between human beings and machines. Franke formulated this notion as early as 1957, making Kunst und Konstruktion / Art and Construction a seminal text. At a time when mathematics, the digital, and artificial intelligence are redefining our understanding of creativity in a radical way, Franke’s ideas seem well ahead of their time. Kunst und Konstruktion / Art and Construction is a book that still challenges us to rethink art in the light of a technologically determined world.First volume of the German-English edition of the writings of Herbert W.

German-english editionIn 1971, Herbert W. Franke presented Computergrafik – Computerkunst / Computer Graphics – Computer Art), the first compendium of an art form that was just beginning to emerge. His presentation of methodological, technical and artistic developments and their prospective future – also in the context of a rational art theory – gave Franke a profound influence on generative artists. To this day, his reflections influence our understanding of the dynamic interactions between the fields of art, science and technology. In this volume, Franke examines more than 80 works of computer art, many of which are now viewed as icons of a new art movement. This early observation offers impressive insights into the history of computer-generated art, which is highly topical today.Standard work on the early history of computer graphicsMethods and devices in their first artistic applicationBroad-based study of the beginnings of computer art
