This groundbreaking new exhibition examines the intersection of
digital technology and the graphic arts. Imaging by Numbers surveys
the use of computers in printmaking and drawing through approximately
60 works created by nearly 40 North American and European artists
from the 1950s to the present. The exhibition focuses on artists who
wrote their own computer code or collaborated with computer
engineers. Beginning with photographs of electronic waveforms by Ben
Laposky and Herbert Franke, Imaging by Numbers includes drawings made
with plotter printers by the likes of Manfred Mohr and Edward Zajec,
explorations of virtual worlds composed with 3-D imaging software by
David Em, and works created with inventive modifications and
combinations of traditional and digital printing techniques by such
artists as Lane Hall and Roman Verostko. Contemporary artists writing
their own computer programs or altering existing software – Joshua
Davis and C.E.B. Reas, for example – are also represented.

Imaging by Numbers is curated by Block Museum senior curator Debora
Wood and artist Paul Hertz.

Dan Hays paintings reflect ‘An interest in the immateriality of digital imagery and the screen, combined with painting’s traditional focus on the paradox of representing light in coloured substance’. They address the issue of the nature of the digital surface, interrogating ‘found’ images that are mediated through digital technology. Highly recommended.
