Summary

Gerold Weiss is a mathematician who was working for the MBB (Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm) aerospace company in Ottobrunn near Munich.

In 1971/72 he was a member of the short-lived group MBB Computer Graphics. The group was built by four engineers of MBB and one student of fine art. Within a short time, the five generated a considerably large set of (more or less) geometric patterns that were exhibited a first time at MBB in their Casino (summer 1972). Weiss’ particular work in the group was developing the programs for Sylvia Roubaud’s works.

The collection was presented to the public at Tendencies 5 in Zagreb (1973). Weiss also took part in the 1989 show, 25 Jahre Computerkunst – Grafik, Animation und Technik.
