“She is considered to be one of the pioneers of Digital Art: in 1968, Vera Molnar, living in Paris, was among the first persons using the computer as a meditum of creating art. Already in 1959, the first digitally produced pictures hat not yet existed, she developed her machine imaginaire and with this machine, she created pictures by means of selfinvented algorithmus: “I imagined I had a computer. I created a programm and then, step by step, realized simple, limited series, which, though, were self-contained, thus not skipping any shape combination.”<\/p>\n
\n\tWith this concept of the machine imaginaire, Vera Molnar quite early set a corner-stone for a decided artistic use of the computer. Since 1968, the computer is a central device of her artistic work. In this continuity that lasts even until today, the work of Vera Molnar constitutes a peak level of Digital Art….”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n Vera Molnar has done some pathbreaking artwork for digital arts since 1959. The curious thing is that she uses self-created algorithms to create her artworks without a computer. She is an artist who had created some very good “computer-artwork” without any real computer.<\/p>\n
