- Abstract: 200-500 words
- From the end of World War II until the revolutions at the turn of the 1990s, an Iron Curtain divided the capitalist Western Europe from the Soviet-dominated, communist Eastern
Bloc. Does a Silicon Curtain still keep the history of Eastern Bloc computer art away from researchers? Elaborating on computer art in each Eastern Bloc country and attempting to
place the events in a political and social context, this master’s thesis aims to be a dent in the curtain and to throw light on computer art in the Eastern Bloc.
