Hi!
Lino Ribolla.
Creative.

I was the first artist to have a microcomputer-generated artwork selected for an exhibition in Brazil, and continued to do so, taking part in many exhibitions, becoming the most active computer artist in the country at that time. All the artworks were written in BASIC and ran as software, each generating an indefinite sequence of unique images. See present-day emulations below.

During the time I was participating in exhibitions with Generative Art, I developed a second career doing computer illustrations on an Apple IIe, creating some of the first computer illustrations published in Brazil, from newspapers to book covers.

My illustration for this cover of Pato Donald was labeled "1st cover made by computer in Brazil!"

I extended my creative range beyond computers to other media, ranging from drawings to paper collages, also designing book covers and even the Carnival Decoration to the city of São Paulo.

When Digital was still known as Interactive, I started working in Advertising for Modem Media, a pioneer digital agency, and created many projects that were industry-firsts, such as First Sound Banner and First Livecast on the Web, winning all the major global awards, from Gold Lion at Cannes to Addy's Best of Show.
