Manchester’s Computer Art Pioneer
24.09.2024, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
During the 1960s Desmond Henry gained recognition for the abstract, curvilinear images produced by a series of three electromechanical drawing machines he created by adapting analogue bombsight computers, originally used in WW2 bombers to direct bombs onto their target. The remains of his second drawing machine are currently with the London Science Museum. In 2011, the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry hosted a solo retrospective of Henry’s machine-generated artwork. His work forms part of major collections, including the V&A Museum in London.

Nancy Burson at the show, “Digital Witness” in LACMA
24.11.2024 - 13.07.2025, LACMA, US
Over the last four decades, image-editing software has radically transformed our visual world. The ease with which images and text can be digitally generated and altered has enabled new forms of creative experimentation, while also sparking philosophical debates about the very nature of representation. Digital Witness: Revolutions in Design, Photography, and Film examines the impact of digital manipulation tools from the 1980s to the present, for the first time assessing simultaneous developments and debates in the fields of photography, graphic design, and visual effects. Featuring over 100 works, the exhibition traces the emergence of distinctive digital aesthetic strategies, relationships to realism, and storytelling modes. Whether using early paint programs, commercially packaged and open-source software, individually programmed tools, or AI image generators, the artists in Digital Witness illuminate the visual culture we now inhabit, in which “Photoshop” is not only a product but also a verb.
