[ISEA95] Paper: Ian Haig — The Computer Graphics Crisis

Abstract

Thinking about computer graphics? What about computer art? No time to learn complex software? Introducing “computer artist in a box”. No fuss, no messy manuals to tie you down; “computer artist in a box” gets you up and running fast, letting you produce amazing works of electronic art, quickly and easily from our extensive image libraries and data sets. In graphic terms, what distinguishes much computer graphics work is the lack of aesthetic difference. My work is an attempt to address this critical issue.

  • Ian Haig (Australia). Born in 1964, this computer animator and new media artist has exhibited and screened his work at ARTEC 95 in Japan, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, SIGGRAPH ’93, and TISEA in Sydney (Australia).
