The “Digital Pioneers” at the Victoria & Albert Museum offers a historical background for present-day digital arts. The exhibit provides an overview of the first decades of the computer's history in art and design. It includes some of the first computer-generated works in the V&A's collections, many of which have never been displayed in the UK before. From the 1960s until the early 1980s, some artists worked directly with computer hardware and software to produce graphic images nothing like anything that had gone before. It offers inspiration in showing we can continue to experiment and evolve our ideas of basic works and set a new era for art.
