Quoting @Noahbolanowski: in 70+ years of digital art history, there have never been so many active private collections dedicated to the genre — including the Spalter Digital Art Collection, Ragnar, Bre Pettis Collection, Carl & Marilynn Thoma Foundation, C/ODE, and BROICH Digital Art Foundation. Attached images show landmark early computer art: Lloyd Sumner's "Logisina's World" (1970), Jean-Pierre Hebert's "Untitled" (1976), and Roman Verostko's "Slippery Rock" (2010).
