Further exploring algorithmic art led me to an artist named Manfred Mohr. Another early proponent of digital art, this German-born experimentalist was involved in the world of digital art from the early years dating back to the late 1960's. Living and working out of Germany, Spain and Paris- before finally settling in New York in the early 1980's- Mohr has continued to produce interesting, and influential work with a strong geometric emphasis. Creating both still images as well as animated digital installation pieces- this artist has a large and very diverse body of work. My favorite piece on display is the recent Klangfarben installation. using custom software to randomly generate multidimensional frames of cubes that animate, grow, shrink and rotate while cycling colors and displaying across two LCD panels- one of which displays a constantly evolving image while the other displays still snapshots of individual screens from the animated screen.
