Hi all,
Thought some on the Crumb list might be interested in the new review by
Rob Myers for 'White Heat Cold Logic: The history of British Computer
Art from 1960 - 1980.'
Wishing all well.

This necessary publication revisits art at a time when access to
computers was limited and their potential was only just starting to be
realised. Brought to life in a collection of memoirs and essays gathered
by Paul Brown, Charlie Gere, Nicholas Lambert, and Catherine Mason. What
was previously the secret history or parallel universe of art computing
can now be seen in context alongside the other avant-garde art movements
of the mid-late 20th century. I cannot over-emphasise the service that
CACHe has done the art computing community and the arts more generally
by providing this much needed reappraisal of early arts computing in the
UK.
This is the third and last by Rob Myers, in a series of articles
reviewing publications by the CACHe project, an archive of pioneering
British computer art. Rob's first review was of the V&A's show and book
"Digital Pioneers", the second was of Catherine Mason's "A Computer In
The Art Room". Where "A Computer In The Art Room" concentrated on the
history of art computing in British educational institutions up to 1980,
"White Heat Cold Logic" gives voice to the individuals who made art
using computers in that period more generally.
