  • The Computer: A Tool for Thought-Experiments Bibliography

    The author argues that computers, as symbol-processing machines, can simulate mental acts of creative activity and enable artists to design autonomous machines that perform artistic activities and produce art objects. He frames this with references to Hegel and Malina and surveys artists' responses to machines, including Moholy-Nagy and LeWitt. He presents technical case studies of electronic and digital imaging, notably Woody and Steina Vasulka's experiments with the Rutt-Etna synthesizer and a mid-1970s image articulator with A/D and D/A converters and an ALU; themes include dematerialization and aesthetic simulation.
