Pioneer of computer art Ida Gerosa dies

Ida Gerosa, a pioneer of computer art, has died. She began working with art and computers in the early 1980s, starting from graphics and painting, and continued until her death. Her works created an immersive universe of visual and sound sensations using computer devices, featuring immaterial lights and colors, metamorphosing forms, depth, and transparency. In 1984, she wrote that computer art could enable a new humanism, requiring new philosophers and imaginative research strategies to discover new worlds where the imaginary and real might become indistinguishable. Gerosa remained an independent artist, never seeking sponsors or galleries, but surrounded herself with friends and companions. She gained fame outside the art system, deeply embedded in creative processes. The news was reported by Silvia Bordini on Artribune.
