Written by a very almost graduated computer scientist who is also passionate about art and design, this undergraduate thesis seeks to investigate and also to present the art-technology field and, more specifically, computer art; its common tools, history, motivations and also the people whose life events and experiments contributed a lot for its establishment.
One of this project’s intention is also to introduce the art-technology field as a fruitful medium for multidisciplinary collaborations between technical people (computer scientists, engineers, developers), artists and designers. Collaborations that, by taking advantage of the specificities of each one of these professional profiles, result in artifacts and experiences that are gaining more and more relevance in society today.
