ABSTRACT
In the different fields of computer art, there often interesting hybrids. Some works, for example, are computer-designed but physically executed as robotic or autographic painting or sculpture. In other cases, the final physical work is a Conceptual form of some kind, which the computer assists in delivering. In Chapter 5 we consider interesting examples of both these strategies as developed in the Postmodern era. Attention is paid to Joseph Netchvatal’s and Chris Finley’s computer-assisted painting, and Robert Mallary’s, Robert Mazzarini’s, and Jean-Pierre Hébert’s computer-assisted sculpture. More Conceptual works by Jenny Holzer and Raphael Lozano-Hemmer are also discussed.
