Note:
Yvaral, the son of Op art pioneer Victor Vasarely, was a French artist best known for producing optical and kinetic art derived from computer programming and is recognized for coining the term ‘Numerical Art’ in 1975. This new art-making process was at the cutting edge of technology, coinciding with the advent of personal computers. Yvaral used computers to digitally manipulate images based on algorithms, or ‘numerical’ formulas, as the foundation for his artwork, but then produced the finished work either though painting or sculpture. These technological underpinnings can be witnessed in all of his work, providing a link between the digital and physical.
