"Thomas Bayrle (b. 1937) has introduced into contemporary art an awareness of the sensual qualities of machines and the aesthetics of automated production. After training as a weaver and graphic designer in the 1950s, he was one of the first artists in Germany to work with computer generated imagery; adopting the principle of serialism, he was also a pioneer of Pop art. His creative evolution is evident in his early films, all of which are on view in the exhibition. Using the means of art, Bayrle examines the laws that organize individuality and masses, gleaning his motifs from our everyday reality and the world of consumer goods." -- Google Books.
