British-born artist Dominic Boreham (1944-2022) made innovative use of kinetics, light, sound and computers for creating visual art and music. He is internationally known for his pioneering work in computer-assisted art, which he produced at the Slade School of Art, London (late 1970s). The drawings were generated via FORTRAN programmingand initially displayed on an oscilloscope. Later drawings were printed on paper using a flat-bed plotter and Rotringâink pens. Boreham also played an important role as editor of the Computer Arts Society’s journal, PAGE, from 1979 to 1982.
Earlier on at the Wimbledon School of Art, London (1974-1977), Boreham constructed kinetic light displays using polarized light and installations controlled by electronic and mechanical programmers built by himself. In 1979 Borehamworked as a guest composer at the Institute for Electronic Music and Psychoacoustics (IPEM, Ghent University, Belgium); his Transduction composition was broadcasted on Belgian Radio (1980). His doctoral research in pictorial structure and artificial vision was jointly conducted at the Royal College of Art, London and the De Montfort University, Leicester, UK; he was awarded Ph.D. in 1983.
Boreham’s computer-assisted artworks are in various private and public collections; they have been exhibited widely over the years and continue to be sought after for exhibitions.
