Lillian Schwartz, 82, digital artist, scientist and scholar

Post by Lee Arnold Last Friday I had the honor of hosting Lillian Schwartz for a talk at Drew University. Lillian is a pioneer in digital art and has inspired generations of artists who work with the computer. She has exhibited at MOMA, the Met and the Whitney. She made her seminal animations “Pixillation” (1970) and “UFO’s” (1971) while working with scientists at AT&T’s Bell Labs. In these works she combined a background in fine art with experiments in film, video and the nascent field of computer animation. She also collaborated with many composers, musicians, and conductors such as the world-renowned Pierre Boulez.
