Farewell to the amazing Vera Molnár (1924-2023), one of the first women artists to use computers in her practice. In 1968, she taught herself the early programming language Fortran, which allowed her to input endless algorithmic variations into the machine. Wonderful work! [image]

Vera Molnar, considered the godmother of generative art for her computer-aided paintings and drawings that started in the 1960s, died on December 7 at age 99
in partnership with @martingrasser — released a series of 500 pieces entitled “Themes and Variations,” which would turn out to be some of her last work. https://deca.art/... @hello...

Experimenting with algorithms, she began to employ the principles of computation in her work even before she gained access to an actual computer.
