> This display provides an overview of the first decades of the
> computer's history in art and design. It includes some of the earliest
> computer-generated works in the V&A's collections, many of which have
> never been exhibited in the UK before.  From the 1960s until the early
> 1980s, digital pioneers worked directly with computer hardware and
> software to produce graphic images unlike anything that had gone before.
> Some artists went on to use increasingly sophisticated software
> packages, while others continued to work directly with the hardware
> itself.
>
> The display includes plotter drawings, screenprints, digital inkjet
> prints, photographs and animations, as well as important documentary
> material from the time.  It features pioneers working in science and
> industry during the 1950s and 60s, such as Frieder Nake, Georg Nees and
> Herbert W. Franke. Artists who worked with the computer in the 1970s and
> 80s include Paul Brown, Harold Cohen, Manfred Mohr and Vera Molnar.  The
> show also encompasses more recent works by James Faure Walker, Jean
> Pierre-Hébert, Roman Verostko and Mark Wilson
>
> Digital Pioneers offers a historical context for contemporary digital
> practice, and is scheduled to coincide with the V&A exhibition Decode:
> Digital Design Sensations.
