ONTARIO SCIENCE CENTRE SPECIAL EXHIBIT
--------------------------------------

THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MACHINE
-----------------------------

THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MACHINE, a major new exhibit produced by the
Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, Canada (July 1 - October 8, 1984),
focuses on the relationship between art and the computer, and the
impact that computer-generated art is having on artist and audience.
In typical Science Centre fashion, most of the exhibit will be a
"hands-on" opportunity to experiment with the newest of computer art
forms, plus films, demonstrations and workshops. Artists today,
like artists of the past, use whatever materials are available to
express their art. They eagerly seek new, exciting, even startling
ways of creating their art. Inevitably they have turned to
computers.

THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MACHINE lets explorers at the Ontario Science
Centre take a look at how the latest in computer technology is
extending the limits of everyone's traditional notions of art.

THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MACHINE will be a technological wonderland
where visitors can express themselves in ways that until recently
were only available in science fiction, not science centres.

THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MACHINE has been made possible by a grant from
the Department of Communications' Special Program of Cultural
Initiatives, the Honourable Francis Fox, minister; generous support
from the private sector; and a special grant from the Ministry of
Citizenship and Culture, the Honourable Susan Fish, minister.

The Ontario Science Centre is an agency of the Ministry of
Citizenship and Culture.
