The generative art for MA1 “Abstract Originals” was coded by Geoff Davis in 1983 and released on data cassette in 1984 by the his Micro Arts Group. The series of seven longform generative artworks was distributed by post or directly. In 1985 most of the Micro Arts work was published on the UK's Prestel teletext (like Minitel). The series name "Abstract Originals" in quotes references the debate on whether algorithmic computer art is art and the role of human creativity, which still continues today. This piece Triangles is in contrast to the others in the series in that it has a calm meditative process that is relaxing to watch. A reminder of green spaces and relaxing moments. Geoff Davis was inspired by the experimental film and video art scene in London at the time, and the communicative energy of the music scene. Independent of academia, Micro Arts Group reached new places with a community approach. In the 1980s computer technology was changing from black and white to colour, in the first modern digital decade.
Curated by Georg Bak, this NFT drop includes works of Davis' early generative art from the “Abstract Originals” series.
Georg Bak stated: ‘Geoff Davis is one of the pioneers of generative and algorithmic art. The artist founded the Micro Arts Group in 1984 and was among the first artists to use popular home micro-computers to generate abstract moving graphics. Micro Arts produced several curated sets of art for public distribution, including a story text generator which can be regarded as an early predecessor of ChatGPT.
Among his earliest works was MA1 “Abstract Originals”, computer code generated artworks which were distributed on data cassettes and later available on national Prestel TV teletext.
These pioneering artworks (also early forms of pixel art) have been turned into rotating cubes in a 3D CGI animation with synthesizer music and will be released in a series of NFTS.’
