Ruth Leavitt

Ruth Leavitt was an early pioneer in the intersection of art and computer technology. In the 1970s, when the digital revolution was just beginning, Leavitt recognized the potential of computers as tools for artistic expression. She is perhaps best known for her edited volume "Artist and Computer," published in 1976. This book brought together a collection of artists' experiences with computer art, offering insights into their processes, challenges, and the potential they saw in this new medium. Leavitt's work and her contributions to the book helped to legitimize computer art as a genuine form of artistic expression. Her efforts played a significant role in bridging the gap between the traditionally separate worlds of art and technology, paving the way for future generations of digital artists.
