Computer Art Pioneer Vera Molnar Passes Away at 99

Vera Molnar, a pioneer of computer art and the godmother of generative art, has passed away at the age of 99. Molnar began experimenting with algorithms and computation principles in her work before gaining access to an actual computer. Her computer-aided paintings and drawings, inspired by geometric works, were eventually exhibited in major museums. Despite initial skepticism, Molnar persevered and embraced the tensions between order and chaos in her art. She continued to explore the possibilities of digital art, including creating a generative art series using NFT technology.
