compArt daDA: the database Digital Art

The compArt database Digital Art is a constantly growing repository on digital art. It focusses on people (artists, authors, gallerists, etc.), works, events, publications, institutions, and more. They constitute the domain of digital art. We use the term "digital art" in a general and broad sense. We are currently restricting attention to the early phase of digital art. These are the years from about 1950 to 1979, the year of the first Festival Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria. During those years, digital art was mainly algorithmic art. At a later time, we will include other forms of digital art. We invite comments and feedback on all aspects of this site.

"compArt | center of excellence digital art" is a project at the University of Bremen, Germany. It is dedicated to research and development in computing, design, and teaching. It is supported by Rudolf Augstein Stiftung and the University of Bremen.
