Nees Georg Wikipedia. Nees began programming computers in 1959. Circa 1965, while working at Siemens in Erlangen, Germany, he began writing programs in Algol that used random number generators to generate drawings automatically by controlling a Graphomat Z64, a primitive flat-bed pen plotter designed by Konrad Zuse. In order to create this art, Nees also wrote some of the world's first graphics libraries, packages named G1, G2, and G3. Nees intervened manually in the production of the artwork by determining when the image was complete. Another piece, variously called "Schotter", "Gravel Stones", or "Cubic Disarray" and created by Nees between 1968 and 1971, depicts a transition from order to chaos: a regular grid of evenly-spaced squares at the top of the image is randomly turned and displaced until, at the bottom of the image, the grid is completely disrupted Nees's artwork "Sculpture" (1968) was one of the world's first computer-generated sculptures; it was exhibited at the 1969 Venice Biennale. - Works in the Victoria & Albert Museum.

The videos are frequently telling a sort of true narration, and the public keeps looking, when properly installed, for instance in Gaîté lyrique, using several of the special cabins provided par the Resource Center of la Gaïté. > Mimetika (2010). Nyeki comments (at Show Off 2013, our translation): "I am both ,a plastic artist and a musician. My thematics relates to life pasticity, working at language level (with several languages) as well as sound. The population of Mimetikc is buit upon a gestural mimetic alphabet. Hence I capture the real and make assemblies. I consider my approach as anti-algorihmic, even if it is not politically correct. I have practiced algorithmics a lot, but I want to take control over the programs and not the > Plastika (2010). Not very digital, but humor.
