90's era digital art: Jean Pierre Hebert
["Blue-ism," Jean Pierre Hebert. 1995]
Co-founder of the Algorists in 1995, Jean Pierre Hebert began his explorations into algorithmic art and drawings in the mid-1970's. He experiments with various media, from pencil and ink drawings, to digital prints and sand and copper etchings. In 1985 Hebert moved from his home in Calais, France to Santa Barbara, California where his first exhibition, “Sans lever la plume,” presented his variety of ink drawings made with mechanical plotters. Hebert has an eye for repetitive patterns in nature, including especially the striations made by wind on sand and waves in water. The software Hebert uses to create his compositions was developed by him for the specific purpose of creating forms to be plotted. His drawings in the 90's were influenced by the work of Max Bill, hokusai, buddhist meditational art and zen art.
