MACROSTRUCTURES OF ZDENEK SYKORA

摘要

In Czechoslovakia, Zdenek Sykora became the first artist to use the computer in the process of artistic creation. The computer was used to generate random numbers, which became the input parameters of the painter's algorithms. Zdenek Sykora began to consider randomness, geometry, and the computer as instruments of his work. His artworks were physically painted using the computer results as source. In the relatively short period of 1972-1973, the painter created socalled Macrostructures, which he obtained by oblique cut-outs from structural paintings. The subject of this paper will be the generation of Macrostructures using a programmed application based on Sykora's system.
