Computet-aided art is one of the most Important inks between art and technology. During the last decade functional designs for industry as well as non-tunctional pictures for pleasure have been produced with the computer. Computerproduced drawings ere the work of people from a wide vanety of disciplines — & few of them are artists, but most of them are the engineers who have access to computers and their various graphics peripherels. es well as the know-how to use them. The computer has thus enabled people without the ability to draw so much as the simplest design to produce pictures that are both intricate and visually sstisfying. Artists generally have to rely on collaborston with engineers to produce computeraided pictures, though more and more are now teaming computer programming, and special computer languages are being devised to meet the requirements of art departments of universities. This fascinating book shows how computers may be used to produce drawings in black and white and in colour, as well as to make animated films and sculptures, and describes many of the represontative achievements in the first decade of this activity. It will stimulate every reader to question the established definitions and boundaries of creative activity.
