  1. Brief history of computer animation. Computer graphicsinnovators, contributors and research centersIvan Sutherland John Whitney Larry Cuba Charles Scuri David Em Yoichiro Kawaguchi Karl Sims

  2. The beginning of computer graphics as art 1965 Georg Nees and Frieder Nake exhibited »Computer Graphic – Programs« Stuttgart gallery of Wendelin Niedlich. 1965 A. Michael Noll and Bela Julesz showed »Computer Generated Pictures« Howard Wise’s New York gallery. 1960 London Institute for Contemporary Arts, »Cybernetic Serendipity«, curated by Jasia Reichardt. 1968-1969 »Tendencije 4 – Computers and Visual Research« Zagreb. 1968 a Computer Art Society has been formed in London

  3. Ivan Sutherland b. 1938 Ivan Sutherland is considered by many to be the creator of Computer Graphics.  Starting with his Ph.D. thesis, Sketchpad, Sutherland has contributed numerous ideas to the study of Computer Graphics and Computer Interaction.  Ivan introduced concepts such as 3-D computer modeling, visual simulations, computer aided design (CAD) and virtual reality.

  9. Sketchpad Ivan Sutherland b. 1938 • the light pen was used to draw directly on the computer's monitor and incorporated graphical user interface techniques such as rubber-banding of lines and zooming • rubber-banded lines could be constrained to always intersect at a precise angle • an advanced memory architecture was developed that allowed the creation of master objects and "instances" which were very memory efficient copies of the masters • the master-instance concept allowed the creation of a master drawing and then duplicates to be created which would inherit properties of the objects in the master drawing unless they were locally changed • if the master drawing was changed then the changes would automatically be propogated through the instances in any duplicates.

  11. Evans & Sutherland Ivan Sutherland b. 1938 Evans & Sutherland produces hardware and software to create highly realistic visual images for simulation, training, engineering, and other applications throughout the world. E&S visual systems are used in both military and commercial systems, as well as planetariums and interactive theaters. Since its formation in 1968, E&S has developed and built the most extensive visual simulation technology base in the world. The company's depth in technology and experience uniquely positions E&S to provide complete, tailored visual solutions for virtually any simulation or visualization application.

  19. John Whitney (1917-1995) Most of the work completed at Motion Graphics was created with a "mechanical analog computer for specialized animation with typography and concrete design" that Whitney himself invented. The analogue computer that Whitney started off with was created from machinery that was used for an M-5 Antiaircraft Gun Director. Later, some of the M-5 components were replaced with those from an M-7, a more sophisticated machine, to create a gigantic twelve foot high analogue computer which Motion Graphics used to produce its work.

  28. Larry Cuba b.1950 My work is not a part of that race for the flashiest, zoomiest, most chrome, most glass, most super-rendered image. My interest is experimental animation as the design of form in motion, independent of any particular technology used to create it.

  32. Larry Cuba b.1950 1979 Two Space 8 minutes 16mm, B/W programming language RAP at the Los Angeles firm Information International AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  33. Larry Cuba b.1950 • In Two Space he orchestrated positive and negative space to give the sense of the dynamic interaction between two dancing forces, one visible and one invisible. • Two dimensional patterns, like the tile patterns of Islamic temples, are generated by performing a set of symmetry operations (translations, rotations, and reflections) upon a basic figure or tile. • Two Space consists of twelve such patterns produced using each of nine different animating figures (12 x 9 = 108 total). Rendered in stark black and white, the patterns produce optical illusions of figure-ground reversal and afterimages of color. Gamelan music from the classical tradition of Java adds to the mesmerizing effect. AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  34. Larry Cuba b.1950 1985 Calculated Movements 6 minutes 16mm, B/W produced at Cuba's studio in Santa Cruz on the Datamax UV-1 personal computer with Tom DeFanti's Zgrass graphics language. AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  41. David Em (USA) 1953 started as a painter 1974 began to experiment with electronic manipulations of TV images. This led to his involvement with the Xerox Research PARC in Palo Alto and to collaboration with computer graphics pioneers Alvy Ray Smith and Dick Shoup, inventor of the frame buffer. AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  42. David Em (USA) 1953 1976 had access to equipment at Triple-I, set up by Gary Demos and John Whitney Sr., but it was the introduction to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the research work of pioneer James Blinn that led to Em's mature computer art style. The works produced at JPL led to the first ever artist's monograph published on digital art (The Art of David Em, published by Harry N. Abrams) AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  47. Yoichiro Kawaguchib 1952 My pieces are being carried out on a paradigm that "growth model is created by the recursive structure of the self-organization, thus being the fruit of complexed form of evolutional cells.“ Yoichiro Kawaguchi AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  48. Yoichiro Kawaguchib 1952 1952 born on on Tanegashima Island. 1975 first computer images. 1976 degree in Visual Communication and Design from the Kyushu Institute of Design. 1978 received his Master of Fine Arts from Tokyo University of Education. 1982 a regular participant in the Siggraph events. 1986 involved in research work for High Definition TV (HDTV). Associate Professor of Computer Graphics Art at Art & Science Lab, Department of Art, Nippon Electronics College, Tokyo. AD 508 - Advanced Electronic Visualization and Critique | Spring 2006

  49. Yoichiro Kawaguchib 1952 “Growth model” an algorythm-backed complex that builds and generates forms via its recursive structure. By running a genetic program, the computer creates images of new forms that, although not real, are abstractions of a distinctly organic nature. The "GROTH Model" is a way to give an unforeseen form to the progress of time. The model is not intended to create or a faithful representations of reality but to produce a new bionomic pictorial space backed by an algorithm. It is a "life form of probability."
