Frieder Nake

Frieder Nake was one of the first artists to use algorithms in the creation of digital art. He produced his earliest artworks in 1963, influenced by the philosopher Max Bense. He had his first exhibition of computer-generated art, “Computer-Grafik,” at the Galerie Wendelin Niedlich, Stuttgart in November 1965. Currently on show at Phillips, London as part of “Ex Machina: A History of Generative Art,” his work is included in many international collections including Kunsthalle Bremen, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and Tate.
