LECTURE FRIEDER NAKE
Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux.
On Algorithmics and Aesthetics
Regarding the Beginnings of Computer Art

Presentation
When we talk about art, aesthetics is not far. When we talk about computer programs, algorithmics cannot be avoided. When we talk about generative art, early computer art is just around the corner since the term “generative art" is from 1965. When we talk about digital media, we enter postmodern times, and the fixed and finished object vaporizes into processes. We discover the algorithmic sign with its surface and subface, visible and computable, a dialectics of algorithmics and aesthetics, the aesthetics of unfinish. And all that started to appear with the first exhibitions of computer art in 1965. The works then were rather primitive in comparison to what is possible today. But the principles of computational creation have not changed. - The presentation will take up this exciting effort and time. It was the time also, remember!, of 1968: revolutionary times.

Pour la toute première fois en France, nous avons l’honneur et l’immense plaisir d’inviter Frieder Nake qui donnera une conférence sur l’art algorithmique. Pionnier de l’art génératif des années 60, Frieder Nake présentera l’histoire riche mais peu connue de l’arrivée de l’ordinateur dans la pratique artistique. Une histoire qui marque sans conteste un tournant dans nos futurs vies numériques. Aujourd’hui cette histoire se montre d'autant plus pertinente que les nouveaux médias et le champ numérique occupent un terrain de plus en plus vaste.
Cette conférence inédite et rare sera suivie par deux jours d’ateliers avec Frieder Nake et Mark Webster dans lesquels les participants travailleront sur la retranscription d’œuvres des années 60 et 70 à l’aide de Processing. Ce sera l’occasion d’apprendre avec un pionnier du domaine, en appliquant des techniques d’hier avec des technologies d’aujourd’hui.

For the very first time in France we have the honor and immense pleasure of inviting Frieder Nake to give a lecture on algorithmic art. A pioneering artist of the early sixties, Frieder Nake will talk about a rich yet little known history of the computer's arrival in artistic practices. Without doubt a defining moment which had important ramifications for the digital futures that followed and today is proving more pertinent than ever as a means for understanding new media art and the ever expansive digital landscape.
This rare and unique lecture will be followed by two days of workshops in which Frieder Nake and Mark Webster will lead a small group of participants. During these workshops, participants will recode works from the sixties and seventies using the programming language Processing. A fantastic opportunity to learn from a pioneering master and apply past techniques with present technology.

Frieder Nake a étudié les mathématiques et crée ses premiers œuvres d’art algorithmique en 1963. Après avoir terminé sa thèse post-diplôme en théorie de probabilité, il enseigne au Department of Computer Science à l’Université de Toronto et à British Columbia, Vancouver au Canada.
Membre actif du collectif The Algorists et participant au mouvement [New] Tendencies à Zagreb, en Croatie au début des années soixante, son travail artistique a été exposé partout en Europe et ailleurs. Aujourd’hui, il habite et travaille en Allemagne où il partage son temps précieux entre l’enseignement à Hochschule Für Künste Bremen et la documentation d’un archive grandissant en ligne (compArt) qui est dédié à l’art informatique.
