computer artArt produced with the help of a computer. From the 1950s the aesthetic use of computers became increasingly evident in most artistic disciplines, including film animation, architecture, and music.

It is now also possible to program computers in advance to generate graphics, music, and sculpture, according to ‘instructions’ which may include a pre-programmed element of unpredictability. In this last function, computer technology has been seen as a way of challenging the elitist nature of art by putting artistic creativity within relatively easy reach of anyone owning a computer.
