Sol Lewitt said in 1967, "The idea becomes a machine that makes the art".

For those interested in the digital interface between science and art here are two interesting sites that are part of a wider investigation into the parallels between conceptual and software art. US generative/code artist Casey Reas, implements some of LeWitt's wall drawings, in code (with LeWitt's permission). See Casey Reas

And Australian artist Paul Brown interested in computational science says "I look forward to a future where computational processes like the
ones that I build will themselves make artworks without the need for human intervention.
