Computer art is any art in which computers play a role in production or
display of the artwork. Such art can be an image, sound,
animation, video,CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, videogame, web
site, algorithm, performance or gallery installation. Many traditional
disciplines are now integrating digitaltechnologies and, as a result, the
lines between traditional works of art and new media works created
using computers has been blurred. For instance, an artist may combine
traditional painting with algorithm art and other digital techniques. As a
result, defining computer art by its end product can thus be difficult.
Computer art is by its nature evolutionary since changes in technology
and software directly affect what is possible. Notable artists in this vein
include Manfred Mohr, Ronald Davis, Harold Cohen, Joseph
Nechvatal, George Grie, Olga Kisseleva, John Lansdown, and JeanPierre Hbert.
