Desmond Paul Henry 🎨 The Picasso of the machine age
Desmond Paul Henry (1921–2004) was a Reader in Philosophy at the University of Manchester from 1949–82. He was one of the first British artists to experiment with machine-generated visual effects at the time of the emerging global computer art movement of the 1960s. During this period, Henry constructed a succession of three electro-mechanical drawing machines from modified bombsight analogue computers which were employed in World War II bombers to calculate the accurate release of bombs onto their targets. Henry's machine-generated effects resemble complex versions of the abstract, curvilinear graphics which accompany Microsoft's Windows Media Player. Henry's machine-generated effects may therefore also be said to represent early examples of computer graphics: "the making of line drawings with the aid of computers and drawing machines" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Paul_Henry
