Desmond Paul Henry (1921–2004) was a Manchester University Lecturer and Reader in Philosophy (1949–82). He was one of the first British artists to experiment with machine-generated visual effects at the time of the emerging global computer art movement of the 1960s (The Cambridge Encyclopaedia 1990 p. 289; Levy 2006 pp. 178–180). During this period, Henry constructed a succession of three electro-mechanical drawing machines from modified bombsight analogue computers which were employed in World War II bombers to calculate the accurate release of bombs onto their targets (O'Hanrahan 2005). Henry's machine-generated effects resemble complex versions of the abstract, curvilinear graphics which accompany Microsoft's Windows Media Player. Henry's machine-generated effects may therefore also be

rdfs:comment	Desmond Paul Henry (1921–2004) fue un artista británico, pionero del arte computacional en la década de 1960 mediante la creación de imágenes curvilíneas complejas con máquinas de dibujo analógicas. Profesor y lector de filosofía en la Universidad Victoria de Mánchester entre 1949 y 1982, construyó una serie de tres máquinas de dibujo a partir de visores de bombardeo modificados de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, e investigó sobre procedimientos de generación de imágenes por procedimientos fotoquímicos y mediante máquinas basadas en péndulos.
