Art and Computer (1970, Abraham Moles)
The following pages are extracted from a book by Abraham Moles, Art et ordinateur, which will be published before the end of the year [1970]. We have already spoken in previous issues about computational artistic creation. But this chapter adopts a more general perspective. Without entering the field of any one art in particular, it envisages the general conditions of artistic creation by means of cybernetics, whatever the field of application. It thus renews the very notion of aesthetics, envisaging the new role that it could be called upon to play.
