Kolomyjec was one of the first computer artists who, through his work, firmly related to and studied the pioneers of computer art. He studied at the Michigan State University in East Lansing Michigan and, as one of the first, graduated in the subject of “Computer Art”.
He ascribed to Computer Art a role that would shape society, which would span the chasm between art and culture on the one hand and science and technology on the other. He foresaw the computer as the ultimate creative tool for the artist-technician-scientist.
He had selected the graphic Schotter by Nees, Georg which were sold as posters from 1980 onwards. Kolomyjec’s work Boxes is this interpretation of Georg Nees’s work.
“I feel that it is appropriate to study works of other artists, especially traditional artists and those who established computer art in the fine art realm.” 314
