The temporal framework of early digital art in Croatia in this project is
bounded by emblematic years: revolutionary 1968, when the first exhibition of
digital art was put on, and Orwellian 1984.
The cultural climate in Zagreb, which was manifested, among other phenomena, by
a series of international exhibitions and the New Tendencies movement, gave
rise between 1961 and 1978 to “the initiation, first production, presentation,
exhibition, criticism and theory of domestic digital art as well as its
presence in world digital art networks from 1968”. (Darko Fritz) It is
important furthermore, according to Fritz, to highlight the ideas of Matko
Meštrović about the synthesis of science and art within the context of the
“synthesis of science and art in the framework of “scientification” of humanist
disciplines and art as part of the long-term (utopian) process of the overall
scientification of all human activity … starting with the appropriation of such
scientific methods as research and experiment”.
