With the advent of the 70’s,
many artists taught
themselves to write their own
computer programs in order to
create computer-based images
and art. In the early 1970s the
Slade School of Art, University
of London, established what
was later called the
'Experimental and Computing
Department'. Slade was one of
the few institutions that
attempted to fully integrate
the use of computers in art
into its teaching curriculum
during the 1970s. Paul Brown
who studied at Slade,
developed a tile based image
generating system that
produced evolving images
based on a set of simple rules.
