Anyone who has been collecting digital art should 💯 read this interview by Peter Bauman with Caroline Csuri. It takes us back to where this ‘movement’ began. It’s quite extraordinary to think about Csuri’s journey, from his humble beginnings in a Hungarian immigrant family to becoming the first in his family to attend college, a professor by the age of 30, and eventually one of the pioneers of computer art. Thank you, @monkantony_tez and @lerandomart for your dedication and commitment to uncovering a chapter of art history that deserves to be better understood and recognised.

It's great to see the rediscovery of Charles Csuri and his pioneering work over many decades. I had the honor to meet Chuck several times. We both were on a panel on "Aesthetics of Computer Graphics" SIGGRAPH '85 and visited Koichi Omura, the designer of LINKS-1 in Osaka, Japan.

A heartfelt thank you to Le Random!!
