+**//__bcd CyberneticArt team__//** (Königswinter_Berlin_Zagreb):\\
+**Miro A. Cimerman** & **Dunja Donassy-Bonačić**
+Following our //bcd CyberneticArt team// contribution at the [[https://wiki.vcfb.de/2020/start?id=en:ausstellungen#bcd_team_collection_usage_of_project-oriented_computers_beyond_hobbyism_in_pace_with_computer_technology_advancement_since_1950s_onward|last year Virtual Exhibition]] @ VCFB 2020 ([[https://wiki.vcfb.de/2020/en:bcd_cyberneticart_team|Details Page]]) we continue this year @ VCFB 2021 with the revealment of the __newest exploration__ into “Hidden [Digital] Data Structures” (© //bcd team//) of our __//CyberneticArt// oeuvre__ and accompanying __media archeological **digitalization**__ of our __//CyberneticArt Archive//__. Our principal interest was, and still is, in deciphering complex dynamic structures of "behaviour" of the Galois Fields, in particular GF(2), through visual and audible effects by usage of interactive [digital] computer systems applying the "Hidden [Digital] Data Structures Method" (© //bcd team//).
-==== General Data ====
+This year premiere Virtual Exhibition (__jubilee__; a __50th anniversary of //bcd team//__) comprises a thematic __representative sample__ of our //CyberneticArt// works created with many generations of [un]conventional [Digital] Computer Systems we used and/or own[ed]/devised in our art, design and research projects by various modalities ([[https://wiki.vcfb.de/2020/en:bcd_cyberneticart_team|(more about)]]). It is based on the "__[**Digital] Pointillistic**“ //CyberneticArt// Point of View //Principle//__ (© //bcd team//), showing hitherto our intensions in introducing and improving "**pixel processes**", "**pixel graphics**", "**pixel sculptures**", and "**pixel installations**". We tried to find “__interconnecting link[s]__” for all of our artworks. In “media archeological” approach, we used a “__[sub]atomization__” of each single artwork analyzing the key fundamental factors. One of our discoveries was: __**PIXEL**__ = well known as any of the __very small discrete elements__ (__dots__) that together constitute an image (form the picture), as on a television or digital screen, computer monitor, etc.

+Starting point (__Static__ **Scientific Pixel**) is to be found in the newly established (the then 1960ies) “Laboratory for Cybernetics”, organizationally located in the “Department for Nuclear Physics” of the Croatian National Research “Institute Ruđer Bošković” (IRB | Zagreb). There, a historical encounter brought artists and scientists together. The organizers of [New] Tendencies, in their search for scientists and desire for creative cooperation in the Program “__Computers and Visual Research__”, came in contact with nearly 30-year-old Vladimir Bonačić (member of the Laboratory, already a respected scientist and computer expert, later in 1971 founding member of //bcd CyberneticArt team//) and aroused his interest and motivation. Already in his premiere artwork (“IRB 8-9” in 1968 @ t4 exhibition “Computers and Visual Research”) Vladimir transformed __Static__ **Scientific Pixel** and invented out of it [Proto-Intelligent] [Interactive] __Dynamic__ __Graphic__ **Artistic Pixel** for use in art ([[https://wiki.vcfb.de/2021/bcd_cyberneticart_team#st_metamorphosis|more about]]).

+In the next year (1969), for the second part of the t4 exhibition “Computers and Visual Research”, Vladimir applied newly invented __Dynamic__ __Graphic__ **Artistic Pixel** for use in art([[https://wiki.vcfb.de/2021/bcd_cyberneticart_team#st_metamorphosis|more about]]). He presented series of 15 own artworks and was awarded with the recognition prize of the International Art Jury of t4 (among others Umberto Eco as juror). Following years brought hitherto numerous artworks of Vladimir alone and together with //bcd CyberneticArt team//, resulting in additional __pixel transformations__ and further //Metamorphoses//. The culmination was already in 1980ies with the invention of [Intelligent] [Interactive] __Timeless & Spaceless__ **Transcendental Pixel**, by //bcd CyberneticArt team//, thus concluding with __Seven Metamorphoses__ in the complete //CyberneticArt// œuvre.We show selection of some typical examples for each //Metamorphosis// depicting characteristics of each pixel type.

+The visual and audible patterns, the appearance of their combinations, the rhythm of the change and the surround sound distribution originate from the same information source (Galois Fields) and are thus intrinsically interwoven.\\

+The visualization of “Hidden [Digital] Data Structures” of the Galois Fields (GF) is a problem of some complexity. The sculpture “__Dynamic Line 64__” renders visual the “dynamic interaction” of three GFs of the degree 2xx64 and smaller. The same pattern in the GFs will repeat after five billion years. Successive elements from three Galois Generators (GGs) are produced by the program residing in the memory chips and executed in real time by the Micro Computer System MCS-80 (based on Intel’s 8080A processor), all of them placed on the single board of Intels System Development Kit 80 (SDK 80). It carries basic chips and provides enough place for extension chips and additional small amount of electronics.
