Joseph Nechvatal

Joseph Nechvatal was born in Chicago. He studied fine art and philosophy.He started with graphite drawings that were often photo-mechanically enlarged. Then he used computer viruses to create both digital and audio art .

It's very similar to Domis' art aesthetic. Both use the same idea. Both use computer with variations, the only difference with Nechvatal, is that he inputs virus instead of inputting algorithms. The intent is also different, where as Dombis was to show the randomness of life, Nechvatal was to showcase the upcoming of science and technology in this age. I like how he is able to use different types of digital media. The viruses he inputs work for both photographs and computer sounds

I think it's interesting I've picked two computer artists. Their art is different, it's really hard for me to understand it.Especially with Nechtval's composition, to me it just sounds like computer sounds spliced together.  What the computers, algorithms, and viruses produce are very interesting, but it also seem very random and unintentional. I get that their intent is that of, but have not the exact idea as to what the final product is. Some modern art is like that, and I guess I don't really understand modern art.
