Nicolas Schöffer (1912-1992).
Website.
Virtual Exhibit.
Hungarian-born French artist, architect, sculptor, composer and pioneer of 'Cybernetic Art'. Schöffer's sculptures and light shows moved and pulsed, guided by an electronic 'brain', mimicking the thought processes of a living organism.








Le VOOM-VOOM à Saint Tropez, the first 'lumino-dynamique' nightclub.




Brigitte Bardot performing 'Contact'. Schöffer supplied the sculptures, Gainsbourg & Colombier the song, Rabanne the dress.
