AARON MARCUS (born 1943)
Evolving Gravity
USA, 1972–74
Aaron Marcus was one of the first trained graphic designers to work with computer graphics, at Bell Telephone Laboratories, New Jersey, in the mid 1960s. He went on to generate what he called ‘artificial visible languages’, programming a computer to ‘make random choices about placement of marks and signs, of layout, of form, to generate something that had human characteristics’.
