He fascination with
the computer as a tool
for artistic creation
began in 1986, when he
introduced computers in
the art department of
the Financial Times, the
first publication in the
UK to use computers to
create graphic images.
He uses the computer as
a drwing and painting
tool. He also uses the
extended eyes of the
computer, the scanner
and digital camera to
record textures and
images from nature and
the city to fuse into
his work as collage.
Case works in the styles
of twentieth century art;
which he considers the
greatest explosion of
artistic experiment,
quality and success in
the history of art.
David Case co-founded
Contemporary Artworks to
publish art generated by
the unique conjunction
of the sophistication of
the computer, the
revolutionary inkjet
printing process and
artists of outstanding
merit.
