Sharing a May 1966 Computers and Automation Reader's & Editor's Forum piece: L. Mezei (York Univ., Toronto) surveyed computer-and-arts projects across visual art, music, literature, archaeology and empirical aesthetics, framing three levels of activity — artistic creation, study of the artistic process, and scholarly research on the art product. He noted the key challenge was bringing humanist scholars, practicing artists and computer scientists together, a gap the New Tendencies movement in Zagreb (1961–1973) helped address.
