Description

biography courtesy of Penka Rare Books:
“Struycken is one of the pioneers of computer art. In the 1970s, he wrote his own computer programs that calculated arrangements and constellations, which Struycken then executed. But as early as 1962, he undertook his first experiments on the mathematical relationships between color and form. In the analytical works of the 1960s, the elements of form and color are systematically examined in terms of their interactions. His exploration of color and light ultimately led to the creation of a light sculpture for the arcades of the Dutch Institute of Architecture in Rotterdam, which changes its colors every ten minutes. Struycken was one of the first Dutch artists to use computers in his work. With his systematic works, he made a significant contribution to the development of digital art”
