Desmond Paul Henry 1921 2004 was a Manchester University Lecturer and Reader in Philosophy 1949 82 and was one of the first few British artists to experiment with machine generated visual effects at the time of the emerging global computer art movement of the 1960s The Cambridge Encyclopaedia 1990 p. 289 Levy 2006 pp. 178 180 . During this period, Henry constructed a succession of three drawing machines from modified bombsight analogue computer s which were employed in World War II bombers to calculate the accurate release of bombs onto their target O Hanrahan 2005 . Henry s machine generated effects resemble complex versions of the abstract, curvilinear graphics which accompany Microsoft s Windows Media Player . Henry s machine generated effects may therefore also be said to represent early examples of computer graphics the making of line art line drawing s with the aid of computers and drawing machines Franke 1971, p. 41 . During the 1970s Henry focussed on further developing his own unique photochemistry photo chemical techniques for the production of highly original visual effects . He then also went on to make a fourth and even a fifth drawing machine in 1984 and 2002 respectively. These later machines however, were based around a mechanical pendulum design and not bombsight computers O Hanrahan 2005 . Henry s artistic career It was thanks to artist L. S. Lowry, working in collaboration with the then director of Salford Art Gallery, A. Frape, that Henry s artistic career was launched in 1961 when he won a local competition at Salford Art gallery, entitled London Opportunity. The prize for winning this competition was a one man exhibition show in London at the Reid Gallery. Lowry, from experience, knew how crucial such a London show could be in bringing an artist to public attention. In his capacity as one of the competition judges, Lowry visited Henry s home in Burford Drive, Manchester, to view his range of artistic work O Hanrahan 2005 It was a ... more details
