This little book from the year 1984 by Herbert Franke contains an amazing anthology of early mostly unknown genart pioneers. Through the days I'll share some works and names from it, starting with Herbert Franke's Farbraster (1975).

Colette S. & Charles J. Bangert saw computer not just as a technical tool, but rather like a fellow artist that was helping them to further develop own ideas and concepts.

Further reading: Bangert, Colette S. and Charles J. Bangert. "Experiences in Making Drawings by Computer and by Hand." Leonardo, vol. 7/4, 1974.

Thanks, Tim! As this book is in German, and hard to find on the market, I thought it might be useful. As well as being good practice for myself, reading a chapter of genart history a day…
