Running Cola is Africa
[related: Cybernetic Serendipity]
A groundbreaking set of algorithmically-generated lithographs dating from 1968. The prints were created by members of
IBM
Tokyo's Computer Technique Group [CTG] and debuted as part of
Cybernetic Serendipity
, the world's first large scale exhibition of computer art held at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts [LICA]. Despite being viewed by over 64,000 attendees, the work failed to sell. It was later acquired by the LICA for £5 and has since been kept in climate controlled storage.
Running
Cola
is Africa
is commonly considered to be the first piece of [aesthetically convincing]
A.I.
art - the full set of prints are now valued at approximately 3.8 million dollars.
