Ernest Edmonds (born 1942, London, England) is a British artist, a pioneer in the field of computer art and its variants, algorithmic art, generative art, interactive art, from the late 1960s to the present. His work is represented in the Victoria and Albert Museum, as part of the National Archive of Computer-Based Art and Design. Life and work Ernest Edmonds is an international expert on Human–computer interaction, Human-Computer Interaction who specialises in creative technologies for creative uses. He was one of the first to predict the value of iterative design and a very early advocate of iterative design methods and Agile software development. He founded the Association for Computing Machinery, ACM Creativity and Cognition Conference series and was part of the founding team for the ACM Intelligent User Interface conference series. Edmonds studied Mathematics and Philosophy at Leicester University. He has a PhD in logic from the University of Nottingham, is a Fellow of th ...

Philip Bunker
Philip R. Bunker is a British-Canadian scientist and author, known for his work in theoretical chemistry and molecular spectroscopy. Education and early work Philip Bunker was educated at Battersea Grammar School in Streatham. He received a bachelor's degree at King's College in 1962 and earned a Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry from Cambridge University in 1965, advised by H.C. Longuet-Higgins. The subject of his Ph.D. thesis was the spectrum of the dimethylacetylene molecule and its torsional barrier. During Bunker's Ph.D. work in 1963, Longuet-Higgins published the paper that introduced molecular symmetry groups consisting of feasible nuclear permutations and permutation-inversions. Under the guidance of Longuet-Higgins, Bunker applied these new symmetry ideas and introduced the notations G36 and G100 for the molecular symmetry groups of dimethylacetylene and ferrocene, respectively. After obtaining his Ph.D. degree, he was a postdoctoral fellow with Jon T. Hougen in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jeffrey Steele (artist)
Jeffrey Steele (1931–2021) was an abstract painter. In Paris (1959) he encountered the work of artists working in the mode of geometric abstraction, such as Victor Vasarely (1906–97), Max Bill (1908–94) and Josef Albers (1888–1976), and adopted a lifelong abstract approach. For eight years he worked purely in black and white and was identified with the Op-art movement. He incorporated other colours into his work in the 1970s. His work has been exhibited in London, Paris, New York, Milan, the Venice Biennale (1986), and elsewhere in Europe and the Americas.

During the war Mary taught drawing, design and weaving at Chelmsford School of Art from 1941 to 1944 but gave this up when she became pregnant with her first child. Martin moved towards pure abstraction in the late 1940s painting her first abstract picture in 1950, made her first reliefs in 1951 and her first free-standing construction in 1956.

Kenneth Martin (English Painter)
Kenneth Laurence Martin (13 April 1905, Sheffield – 18 November, 1984, London), was an English painter and sculptor who, with his wife Mary Martin and Victor Pasmore, was a leading figure in the revival of Constructivism.
