Description:

Many artists and works represented online are indispensable to the history of digital media art; however, web sites are ephemeral and artworks posted on websites and its documentation frequently disappear. The insecurity of access to these materials presents serious obstacles to teaching courses on the history of digital media art. To facilitate future scholarship and classroom teaching, Cornell University Library is preserving and making accessible selected websites identified as important in understanding the history of digital media art. The items in this collection are intended for use in the teaching of Digital Media Art at Cornell University.

Title: L'Art et L'Abstrait, Nicolas Schoffer - Cyspe

URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJD27tJLoaQ

Description: "D'abord peintre, puis sculpteur, urbaniste, architecte, théoricien de l'art, Nicolas Schöffer a été un des artistes les plus importants de la seconde moitié du XXème siècle. Pionnier de l'art cybernétique, artiste non commercial, on le connaît moins que d'autres, car, consacré à la recherche fondamentale en art, il crée surtout à l'échelle de la ville, dans laquelle il veut redonner aux hommes de notre époque le plaisir de vivre à l'abri de toutes sortes de pollutions visuelles autant qu'auditives." -- from the website, 2/12/2015 "Originally a painter and sculptor, urban planner, architect, art theorist, Nicolas Schöffer was one of the most important artists of the second half of the twentieth century. Pioneer of cybernetic art, not a commercial artist, is known less than others, as devoted to basic research in art, he created especially across the city in which he wants to give back to the people of our then the pleasure to live free from all kinds of visual and auditory pollution as much." --translated from the website, 2/12/2015
