Ernest Edmonds’ art explores colour, time and interaction in the context of colour field painting and systems art. His work extends the Constructivist tradition into the digital age in a powerful and enduring investigation of mathematical and computational systems.
Born in London in 1942, he began painting at an early age and continued to do so throughout his formal education in mathematics, philosophy and logic. Throughout his life, he has made artworks with reflected as well as transmitted light, both painting and writing code to make interactive generative works. He has exhibited computer-based and systems art around the world since 1970 and showed the first computer-generated video at Exhibiting Space in 1985.
As well as creating new art forms and publishing widely, he continues to contribute to art research through the positions of Professor of Computation and Creative Media at the University of Technology, Sydney and Professor of Computational Art at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. He is Editor-in-Chief of Transactions in the leading MIT Press art and science journal, Leonardo. His work is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, who are collecting his archives, and he is represented in the pioneer section of the on-line DAM Museum, Berlin.
