This week, Critical Code studies welcomes its latest members, an exciting mix of computer scientists, cyberculture theorists, and electronic artists. Here are the first three: Patrick Burgaud, Greg Elmer, and Elizabeth Swanstrom. More additions later this week. Contact us to join our research group.
Patrick Burgaud
Patrick Henri Burgaud was born in 1947. In 1992, he left education to devote all his time to artistic practice — monumental poetry, land art, visual poetry — his early work focuses on the visual impact of the alphabet.
In 1996 he discovered the potential of data processing. Computer generated poetry opened up a new dimension in his work. Since then, as technology developed, his his research has turned to programmed art, interactivity and net art.
