Hans Dehlinger was born 1939 in Stetten / Remstal, a Village in South Germany. After his studies of architecture at the University of Stuttgart (Dipl.Ing.) and at the University of California, Berkley (M.Arch., Ph.D.), he worked as a scientist and architect. In 1980, he became a professor of Industrial Design at the University of Kassel, Germany, and served as a guest professor and institutions in China, Thailand, Portugal, Great Britain, and Korea. In the early 80's, he started to explore computers artistically with a focus on algorithmically-generated line drawings executed on pen-plotters. His work can be described as "computer art," as well as "concrete art." On the basis of programs developed by Dehlinger, the pen-plotter draws thin lines on paper, forming dense textures. Mainly two types of generative processes are designed: one-pass-processes, in which drawings are generated by programs without any intermediate visual feedback by the artist, and composite-processes, in which drawings are composed in a sequence of steps. His work has received worldwide recognition, being first shown in Europe, and later in Canada, Russia, Australia, the USA, Armenia, and China. Drawings of Dehlinger are in private collections and in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
