History of ELECTROGIG History of ELECTROGIG
1985
Increasingly frustrated by the creative limits imposed on their
demanding designers by the available technology, De Beeldenstorm took the
decision to develop their own production tool.
To carry out this substantial project they formed Automated Images,
a research
and development facility, bringing together a small international group of
computer scientists and mathematicians to work closely with designers, under
the guidance of De Beeldenstorm founder Raymond Le Guè. The task given
to Automated Images was to create a tool which would allow visual communicators
to benefit from and interact with advanced computer graphics technology, but
without the necessity of advanced programming knowledge.
