"WASHINGTON – Cultural Programs of the National Academy of Sciences announces “Process, Chance and Serendipity: Art That Makes Itself,” an exhibition of prints by Paul Brown, a pioneering artist in the field of Generative and Computational Art. The exhibition coincides with the NAS’ March 2018 colloquium Creativity and Collaboration: Revisiting Cybernetic Serendipity. The exhibition opens Feb. 20, 2018, and will remain on view through July 15, 2018, at the National Academy of Sciences."Paul Brown discovered digital computers as a creative medium after seeing the Cybernetic Serendipity exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London in 1968. Early in his career he began developing processed-based methods for generating images and time-based artworks as an alternative to the then common approach to art-making as a form of self-expression."
