Dying is not enough Living is

Long before AI, pioneer Otto Beckmann (1908–1997) was co-creating with machines. In the 1960s, he co-founded "ars intermedia," had custom computers built by his son Oskar, and used them for real-time "dialogue" to generate hybrid, algorithmic "imaginary architecture." VISIONARY

🟪 Latest News 🟪 Foundation Herbert W. Franke Cooperation with Vienna Museum of Science 👉HWF's Cellular Automata The Foundation has entered into a cooperation agreement with the Vienna Museum of Science and Technology and the Austrian Mediathek. The goal is to work alongside the Software Archive & Collection—based at the museum’s research institute—to preserve a portion of Franke’s digital computer programs for the long term and to make them accessible to the public both online and offline in the exhibition. Starting point are Herbert's programs with cellular automata from 1992 - 95. @HerbertWFranke

ART VOICES | Episode 1 “When you look back historically at different art movements, a few decades is nothing. Things take time. Recognition takes time. History takes time.” — Anne Spalter (@annespalter) Digital art is often judged as though it should have already completed a centuries-long journey. But every artistic movement has required time not only to develop, but to be understood. In our first ART VOICES conversation, Anne Spalter reflects on why cultural legacy cannot be measured in market cycles or headlines. It’s built through artists who continue the work, institutions willing to engage with it, and conversations that preserve its history. ▶️ Watch the full conversation: campaigns.art.art/artvoices Hosted by Elena Zavelev (@Elena_Zavelev) Farrah Carbonell (@FARRAHXYZ) Presented by @ARTANDVAULT × @theHUGart × .@theHUGart

Lloyd Sumner (1943–1996): UVA engineer who started making digital art in 1964 on a Burroughs B5500 + CalComp plotter. First to sell computer art commercially. Wrote the first monograph by a computer artist (1968). Showed at Cybernetic Serendipity. Then biked around the world!

@SamSpratt @Kanbas_ stunning!

My piece in the home of Micky Malka and Becky Kleiner. I always was into how they chose to display 'Masquerade' aesthetically, but after visiting the other day and hearing stories from them, I felt moved by how meaningful of a choice the placement was. Installed in their dining room, Masquerade's initial digital gathering got new life as a physical gathering space. Week after week, new guests fill the chairs around it for meals, meetings, shabbats, holidays. For them, the meal isn't an isolated event. Guests since its installation have been in the hundreds, constantly cycle through - and range from family, old friends, tech titans, CEOs, film directors, museum curators, entrepreneurs, artists, students, professors, from all walks of life and from all over the world. Getting to hear from them how each configuration in each new meal has provoked intense observation, discussion, debate was truly magic. They even keep an ipad loaded and ready to go to bring out when people start inquiring about the digital side of it all Letting people dive in on their own, reading everyone's observations and masks, exploring the digital version to see what has taken place atop it. How they chose to share the work has authored this entirely new way in - a perfect echo of why it was made to begin with.

1978: "Giorgini, whose research with a computer in fluid mechanics turned him on to computer art seven years ago, talks to his CalComp computer in what is known as ‘Fortran’ language. He invariably refers to the computer as ‘he or she’ and never as ‘it.’"

So excited for this news!!!!

@lukefivehundred @drbillkolomyjec love the giorgini!!!

Welcome to the new Right Click Save. Tired of the algorithm deciding what matters in art? We built something different. A redesigned Magazine, a Forum for serious discussion, and an Index of the individuals, artworks & ideas defining digital culture. rightclicksave.com

@Greekdx can’t wait!

Avant/Gay V1 research document concluded. Still a long way to go but I think it's on their right track. Will be sending it out to some artists and collectors in the community for feedback and additions/corrections.

@collectionist you two are

@michaelspalter really stunning

The AI frontier is no longer just a problem of scale. It’s a problem of taste, intention, and judgment — the creative mind. That mind has an over 60-year history sitting largely unread in the archives of early digital art.
