THE COMPUTATION CENTER [CENTRO DE CÁLCULO] AT MADRID UNIVERSITY. 1966-1973

The Computation Center at Madrid University (CCUM) is an example of how computation centers, mathematicians and some private computer companies became generators of interaction between technology and other disciplines.

Distinction Machine

Kim Albrecht (DE)

What can and can’t be expressed through the digital devices that have became so ubiquitous to us today? This visual experiment will ask a computer to perform a task that is, mathematically and computationally, very simple, but confronts the machine with a manifestation problem. The vagueness of our world, its in-betweenness, cannot be computed.

Strata #4

Quayola (IT)

Strata #4 is a video installation diptych that reimagines the iconic Rubens’ altarpieces of Palais des Beaux Arts in Lille through computational methods. The Baroque paintings are algorithmically analyzed beneath their figurative appearance, allowing them to be re-discovered under a new authenticity.
