Digital Pioneers

Julie & Robert Breckman Prints and Drawings Gallery, Room 90 and Paintings, Room 88a

This display provides an overview of the first decades of the computer's history in art and design. It includes some of the earliest computer-generated works in the V&A's collections, many of which have never been exhibited in the UK before. From the 1960s until the early 1980s, digital pioneers worked directly with computer hardware and software to produce graphic images unlike anything that had gone before. Some artists went on to use increasingly sophisticated software packages, while others continued to work directly with the hardware itself.

there is something about the eames work and playful understanding/re-imagining of post-war industrial manufacturing in the construction of form and architecture that has resonance with works for the coming semester - this film is a prime example of a real lucidity and quality to the material of a polaroid machine... meaningful and human / social awareness that todays technologies may lack - i.e. the true comprehension of these materials in reality DESIGN MUSEUM DESCRIPTION
