Maurizio Bolognini

Maurizio was a new media artist and used light trails in normal everyday photo's, so that they had a strange meaning.
In 1988 Bolognini began using personal computers to generate fluxes of continuously expanding random images. In the 1990s, he programmed hundreds of these computers and left them to run ad infinitum (most of these are still working). About his Programmed Machines he wrote: "I do not consider myself an artist who creates certain images, and I am not merely a conceptual artist. I am one whose machines have actually traced more lines than anyone else, covering boundless surfaces. I am not interested in the formal quality of the images produced by my installations but rather in their flow, their limitlessness in space and time, and the possibility of creating parallel universes of information made up of kilometres of images and infinite trajectories. My installations serve to generate out-of-control infinities."[13] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurizio_Bolognini
