Computer Graphics & Art



Computer Graphics & Art was an excellent quarterly publication highly focused in computer graphics and computer artists who were using and experimenting with this media back in the 70's. It was produced in Chico, CA and published by Berkeley Enterprises Inc. The magazine worked for only 3 years, the time for publishing 12 great issues from 1976 to 1978. Each magazine has around 35 pages including essays, several illustrations from works and studies and descriptions from different artists such as Manfred Mohr. 

"COMPUTER GRAPHICS & ART is a new international quarterly of interdisciplinary computer graphics for graphics people and computer artists. This new periodical is aimed at students, teachers, people from undergraduate and graduate institutions, researchers, and individuals working professionally in graphics. Its topical coverage is broad, embracing a variety of fields. It is useful, informative, entertaining, and current."  

compArt daDA, the database Digital Art, made a great research job compiling 11 issues of Computer Graphics & Art in good quality PDFs which can be downloaded here.  There's only missing the first issue VOL1 Nº1 which probably was published on February 1976, if someone knows anything about that first issue it would be great to complete the whole publication, let us know please!

Pablo Valbuena



Two new works by Pablo Valbuena who has always kept one of the cleanest minimalist style working through videoprojection on architecture, recently Pablo made time tilings [stuk] consisting in four site-specific interventions at Artefact festival in STUK Kunstencentrum. Leuven, 2013. 
The other new work called chrono-graphy [max estrella 2013-2010] is a site and time specific project using black paint on walls, floors and ceilings at Max Estrella Gallery in Madrid, 2013. See more;


time tilings [stuk], 2013

"Architecture is judged by eyes that see, by the head that turns, and the legs that walk. Architecture is not a synchronic phenomenon but a successive one, made up of pictures adding themselves one to the other, following each other in time and space, like music."





chrono-graphy [max estrella 2013-2010]

chrono- : time (from gr. khronos)
-graphy : process of writing, drawing, representing or recording (from gr. graphia)

"The outlines of the works presented in previous exhibitions are drawn on the surfaces of the gallery, visualizing the memory of the space and shaping a time-based cartography."



International Teletext Art Festival 2013


Black & White by LIA

International Teletext Art Festival 2013 will end next September 15, it's being displayed in Berlin at ARD Hauptstadtstudiohttp://www.ard-hauptstadtstudio.de/ exhibition space, but it can be seen also though original teletext pages such as in ARD Text from page 850, ORF TELETEXT from page 470 and SWISS TELETEXT pages 750-764 on SRF 1, RTS 1 and RSI 1.
ITAF includes this year great works from Max Capacity, Cordula Ditz, Daniel Egg, Dragan Espenschied, Dan Farrimond, Goto80, Kathrin Günter, Juha van Ingen, Manuel Knapp, John Lawrence, Marc Lee, LIA, Raquel Meyers, Seppo Renvall, Jarkko Räsänen and UBERMORGEN, and a jury formed by Paul B. Davis, Voin de Voin and Rosa Menkman.
Into the post there are only two geometric and abstract based series I like from LIA and Juha van Ingen, but check out all the works at www.teletextart.com. See more;

"Considering that teletext has been used by millions of people daily during its 40 years of existence, it has so far remained a relatively unexplored territory for artistic creation. Ever since it was launched by the BBC in 1973, there have been several serious efforts to open up teletext for art but even if teletext has had a steady stream of fans within the artistic community, including some well-known names such as the Jodi artist collective, it has never gained the status it deserves as an art form. Now that High Definition has become established as a standard and the race towards crisp images has slowed down, a growing number of artists have returned to the basic structures of electronic art. This can be seen as the main reason for the revival of teletext in this context. Other phenomena explaining the sudden interest in teletext art, especially among young artists, is the retro factor. The minimal aesthetics and limited technical possibilities make teletext a unique medium and also an interesting challenge for artists: To make teletext pages a specific file format and editor are needed. A teletext page can be perceived as a grid of 24 rows and 40 columns. To change the colours of the graphics, text and background or to add a blink effect, a control character needs to be inserted. Each time a control character is placed it uses up one space in the grid, which then appears black. The artworks can be viewed with teletext editors or made into animated images but the true forum for teletext art is of course teletext itself. A group of experts (Paul B. Davis, Voin de Voin and Rosa Menkman) will select one of the participating artists to receive the Teletext Art Prize.You too can vote for your favourite artwork by SENDING A POSTCARD more info about voting here.

The festival opens on August 15th in Berlin at the ARD Hauptstadtstudio exhibition space were the ITAF works will be displayed untill the 15th September and continues in Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo with some program. The following day ITAF continues with a Teletext Cocktailparty in Musterzimmer Showroom for Contemporary Art. > info on opening program, schedule and locations ITAF2013 will also be in the program of Ars Electronica Festival , Linz, Austria, 5.9.-9.9.2013

The International Teletext Art Festival is a FixC cooperative project www.fixc.fi made in collaboration with ARD Text www.ard-text.de, ORF TELETEXT teletext.orf.at and Swiss TXT www.teletext.ch." - www.teletextart.com.


Black & White by LIA

"In the five works that LIA created for the teletext art festival she uses the single pixel as basic building blocks. The images play on the one hand with the idea of algorithms, by varying the distances between lines and pixels following algorithmically defined patterns; and on the other hand with the intense contrast between black and white elements demanded by the limitations of the technology. In four of the five works the teletext "flash" command is used to provide a hierarchical order of the elements without using animation as such. A clear boundary is formed between the permanent (static) and impermanent (dynamic) elements; this boundary appears and disappears as the blinking effect plays out. If the entire image were always visible, ie if there was no blink effect, the dynamic elements would be lost amongst the static elements."







The Tale of Tomorrow by Juha van Ingen

The work by Juha van Ingen for ITAF2013 was inspired by 'Sunset' a painting by J.M.W. Turner
