Description

La scienza e l’arte, edited in 1972 by the semiotician Ugo Volli, collects essays by Umberto Eco, the Catalan philosopher Xavier Rubert de Ventós and others on studying art with methods from information theory, semiotics, cybernetics and mathematics. Ernesto García Camarero wrote its essay “Computer art” (pages 129–179). He was the mathematician at whose request the Centro de Cálculo of the University of Madrid set up its seminar on the automatic generation of plastic forms in December 1968. Kurd Alsleben, who made computer drawings in Hamburg with the physicist Cord Passow in 1960, also contributes.
