Very sad to report that Hervé Huitric, one of the founders of France’s Groupe Art Informatique de Vincennes, or GAIV, has moved on to a better place. Over the last few years Huitric had struggled with various illnesses. With his wife, Monique, Hervé was among the most influential thinkers in France’s generative art scene in the late 60s and early 70s. After many years of being forgotten, he and his wife’s work (all of their artistic output is ) has recently received more attention being featured in such exhibitions as Radical Software and Electric Dreams at Tate Modern. The Pompidou Center also acquired he and his wife’s work. Hervé was very generous, intelligent, funny, and kind. We will miss him very much.
