Summary

Alexanco, together with Manuel Barbadillo was one of the most prominent computer artist of Spain during the 60´s.

Founding member of Generación Automática de Formas Plásticas, that was held in the Centro de Calculos de la Universidad de Madrid, Alexanco was one of the few artists from this seminar, that actually learnt to program by himself (FORTRAN IV).

His mayor work through the cybernetic experience was based in his investigation around anthropomorphic forms and a way to systematically transform these figures to generate movement. As a result he produced various 3d anthropomorphic modules. Nevertheless, Alexanco was gradually more interested in the code process of generating this forms rather than the partial results that were built from it.

Alexanco contributed with various texts that were published in the book “Ordenadores en el Arte” compiled by E. García Camarero.
