When one thinks 1960's, many things come to mind. Jimi Hendrix and the classic rock movement, Ford producing the first fully customizable and revolutionary mustang, the civil rights movement in the United States, the list goes on and on. But what if I were to tell you it was also the birth of digital art and programming?

| Cube Disarray Georg Nees 1965 |
George Nees, a German born honorary professor was one of the main pioneers towards computer and digital art. Hired at Siemens in 1965, Nees used primitive machines and manually overrode commands by creating his own codes and intervening incomplete production. In the reading, his piece
Cube Disarray caught my eye because of both its simplicity and its downward spiral to chaos.
Between his occupation as a computer programmer and various photos, I find Nees to be an interesting individual due to his conservative and non stereotypical artist personality.
