Generative Art Timeline · Chapter 5: Artist-Programmer Era (1970s)
1972
Grenzgebiete der bildenden Kunst (Frontiers of Fine Arts) Exhibit at the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart
This exhibition, according to Herbert W. Franke, was an example of “only a few events of purely artistically oriented institutions” displaying computer art at the time. This stands in contrast to “the best opportunities for presenting computer graphics” at the time: scientific conferences.
