Following our bcd CyberneticArt team contribution at the last year Virtual Exhibition @ VCFB 2020 (link to the 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.

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. We show, based on "[Digital] Pointillistic“ CyberneticArt Point of View Principle (© bcd team), selection of some typical examples for each Metamorphosis depicting characteristics of each pixel type.

The (7) Seven Metamorphoses are chronologically and thematically

ordered from Metamorphosis of Static Scientific Pixel into:

⇒ [Proto-Intelligent] [Interactive] Dynamic Graphic Artistic Pixel

Men - Machine visual communication with on-line minicomputer PDP 8 (DEC) connected via A/D and D/A converters to the Light Pen System & oscilloscope for displaying “pixel” graphics on the CRT screen. In the middle (from left): TTY, PDP 8, A/D and D/A converters, oscilloscope with CRT screen, light pen stylus. The System was constructed in mid 1960s at The Laboratory for Cybernetics (IRB | Zagreb) and used for scientific research, mainly in nuclear spectroscopy (leftmost: Van de Graaff experiment, 6Li+3He⇒p+a+a, 3.0 MeV, 35.7o, -37.5o), but also by Vladimir (rightmost: “IRB 8-9, V.B. 1968”) in his pioneering use of “Computer in Visual Research” since 1968 onward.
