Full Bio

Robert Stoiber is a Munich-based artist active in the late 1970s and early 1980s, working within the computer graphics program at the University of Munich. In Computer Graphics and Art in 1976, his piece Rosette was credited as a student work in Reiner Schneeberger’s seminar on programmed graphics. Rosette went on to receive fifth prize in the International Computer Graphics Competition in 1979 and was later cited in Igildo G. Biesele’s Graphic Design Education in 1981, which highlighted developments in graphic design and computer art. In 1984 Stoiber was named among the prizewinners of the CW-Computergrafik competition in Munich, organized by Computerwoche and sponsored by NCR GmbH. His submission was produced using SNE ART, the parameter-based generative system developed by Schneeberger for art education, which introduced structured randomness into image construction. The jury combined expertise from computer art, color theory, gallery practice, publishing, and industry, and included Herbert W. Franke, Edgar Knoop, Manfred Arndt, Helmut Cramer, and Helga Biesel. The awards were presented at the Hannover Messe in 1984.
