Abstract:

  • The Journal Leonardo was founded in 1968 by artist-engineer Frank Malina. Many pioneers of digital art joined the adventure. The growing group advocated a more conceptual approach to art, closer to the spectator, a new form of art rooted in Constructivism and in symbiosis with society’s mutation towards technology.
