New Media Art is a comprehensive term that encompasses art forms that are either produced, modified, and transmitted by means of new media/digital technologies.

Vera Molnár and Manfred Mohr became pioneers in this field by working in computer labs in France, leading to the creation of what we now call computational.

After the number of research iterations and art experiment, I can argue that the computer science and computational techniques can be applied.

Abstract: The paper presents a pioneering period () in the context and with the difficulties of those years remembered all of a sudden.

In my artistic development I did not have the typical constructivist background.

I was an action painter and jazz musician. Through a development of consciousness, I detached myself from spontaneous expressions and turned myself to a more constructivist and, a therefore, geometric expression (1964).

Beyond this, my art developed into an algorithmic art in which inventing rules (algorithms) is the starting point and basis of my research.

These "compositional rules" are not necessarily based on already imaginable forms, but on abstract and systematic processes. My rules are parametric rules, which means that at certain points in the process, conditions have to be set for which, in some cases, random choices can be employed.

In my work, similar to a journey, only the starting
