Description

Visual Art, Mathematics and Computers collects 53 selections from the first 10 volumes of Leonardo, the journal that the rocket engineer and kinetic artist Frank J. Malina founded in 1968. Two of its four parts are given to computer art, with first-hand accounts by Herbert W. Franke, Zdeněk Sýkora, Vera Molnar, Ruth Leavitt and Vladimir Bonačić, among others. Malina also reprinted his own skeptical essay of 1971, “Comments on Visual Fine Art Produced by Digital Computers.”
