French artist Vera Moln\u00e1r<\/strong> is one of the pioneers of computational art, with her practice dating back to the mid-to-late sixties. In 1968, Moln\u00e1r began to write programs to execute her computer-generated works, in which the code is the medium. Using different numbering systems to create her work, Molnar gives up control by writing a proscribed set of procedures that moves the plotter pen to create a drawing.\u00a0This exhibition will focus on her creation of a series of results from the same program. She varies the drawings by utilizing either a linear progression, variations on a theme, or the progression from order to chaos.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The computer allows her to create a multitude of scores and systems that yield series with ever-new permutations. These variations in her drawings and works in other media constantly produce movement\u2014a musical, kinetic play of line and form. As one of the only computational artists who trained in art before using a computer, and among just a handful of women who innovated these new methods, Moln\u00e1r continues to generate variations and surprise the audience in her artistic practice today at age 98.<\/p>\n

\n\t\"\"\n\t<\/figure>\n

This year, Vera Moln\u00e1r will exhibit a set of computer drawings from the 1970s at the 159th\u00a0International Art Exhibition of the Venice Biennale of Art, in the general exhibition\u00a0The Milk of Dreams<\/em>\u00a0which will be running from April 23 to November 27, 2022; she will be the oldest artist participating in the Biennale. In 2023, she will be in a group exhibition curated by Leslie Jones called Coded: Art at the Dawn of the Computer Age, 1960-80<\/em>\u00a0at LACMA in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n

The Beall Center is an exhibition and research center located on the campus of the University of California.
