Vera Molnar, Microcosmos (Hommage a Bartok), print, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, E.528-1981.

Organized in Paris by CISI (Compagnie Inter-nationale de Service en Informatique), this event was a seminar and notable computer art exhibition for this period. If it involved computer art and took place in Paris, then the grande dame, Vera Molnár was involved. She wrote a Kandinsky-inspired reflection on computers in art for the exhibition.
