The first ever exhibition of computer generated art was held at the Howard Wise Gallery in New York, in April 1965. It was entitled 'Computer Generated Pictures,' as people agreed that the potentially dehumanising influence of the computer prevented the pieces in the show from being considered 'art' in the true sense of the word.
The computer has since become a central feature of much contemporary art, be it in the execution, reconfiguration or reproduction of work. Entire artistic disciplines like algorithm art, software art and digital illustration have evolved with computers at their very core.
Here are 7 contemporary pieces where computers have been used to fascinating and often beautiful effect.
