Next to Manfred Mohr, Vera Molnar is one of the most important pionieers of digital art. Her first artworks with a computer originated already in 1968. But before that she already used the concept of her so called „machine imaginaire“, since 1959.
“I imagined I had a computer. I created a programm and then, step by step, realized simple, limited series, which were self-contained though, thus not skipping any shape combination. As soon as it was possible for me I replaced the pretended computer, the imagined machine, through a real computer.“
Vera Molnars art always evolve from elementary geometric forms and shows her personal interest for the rational purity of mathematics. Since her studies, the Hungary-born artist is intrigued by geometric and systematic art.
Vera Molnars works have been shown internationally e.g. at Centre Pompidou, Paris; MoMA, Museum of Modern Art, New York; Victoria and Albert Museum, London and her art is part of important collections worldwide.

(Dés)Ordre“ Wolf Lieser from DAM Berlin is giving a talk on the 27th of June 2014 on the topic „Vera Molnar in context of Digital Art.“
