geometrymatters:Digital Harmony: On the Complementarity of Music and Visual Art “Computer technology has been available to a few artists for less thantwo decades. At the same time that computers are becoming householdutensils, a mixture of high expectation and stubborn opposition surroundsthe tentative use of these instruments for art. About the computer’sapplicability in art there will be much more to say throughout the book.The purpose of this book, then, is to define, as much as I understandthem, the principles of harmony as they apply to graphic manipulation ofdynamic motion-pattern by computer. Whether my efforts constitute afinal valid grammar is irrelevant. The purpose is to document my own approach and to propose the seminal idea of making an approach.”- John Whitney -- source link
