I was born in Vrtojba, Slovenia on 10th December 1949. After graduating from grammar school in Nova Gorica, I registered at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering in Ljubljana, and earned my degree in 1974. It was in the facility where I was preparing for my diploma that I came into contact with a computer and data processor for the first time. It was the time of punched cards and remote batch terminals. That was a turning point in my life and I entered in the world of computers, leaving forever a field of mechanical engineering. My first job was in the domain of information science. In my informational technologies career with several companies in Slovenia, I was engaged in developing and programming commercial and business applications. I now work in the IT department of the biggest Slovenian casino company.
All those years of being in contact with computer programming never disappear, along with the crazy idea that a computer can do more than simply data processing. I had the idea to simulate human creativity, especially in the area of visual art. This challenge caused the development of a very interesting project that was my favorite occupation for more than 20 years in my free time. I developed a lot of programs to generate new and unpredictable pieces of visual art. Each artwork created using my generative-designed software is an absolute unique item and could be lost forever if not saved or printed.
I have also organized exhibitions and live presentations, and have published articles and papers with the intention to propagate the basic idea of the generative art method.
