Computer animation - Cybernetic Serendipity
Time: Jul, 1968
Place: Worldwide
Details: In July 1968, the art journal Studio International published a special issue titled Cybernetic Serendipity - The Computer and the Arts, which cataloged a comprehensive collection of items and examples of work being done in the field of computer art in organizations all over the world and shown in exhibitions in London, UK, San Francisco, CA. and Washington, DC. This marked a milestone in the development of the medium and was considered by many to be of widespread influence and inspiration. Apart from all the examples mentioned above, two other particularly well known iconic images from this include Chaos to Order by Charles Csuri (often referred to as the Hummingbird), created at Ohio State University in 1967, and Running Cola is Africa by Masao Komura and Koji Fujino created at the Computer Technique Group, Japan, also in 1967.
