Frieder Nake conference

Frieder Nake studied mathematics and created his first computer graphics in 1963. Considered as one of the founding fathers of ‘computer art’, his early works were groundbreaking and his role undeniably important. However, little efforts have been made to document his perspective on a crucial part in art, design and computer history. We had the immense pleasure of inviting Frieder Nake to give a lecture at the Contemporary Art Museum in Bordeaux last week. This was his first lecture ever in France, fifty years on.
