Temporary Exhibition
Calculations and Coincidences brought together three pioneers of algorithmic art—Vera Molnár, Dóra Maurer, and Gizella Rákóczy—through their works from the Hungarian National Bank Collection. The exhibition focused primarily on the profound influence of Molnár, who was unquestionably among the most significant names in computer art while tracing how the artistic explorations of Maurer and Rákóczy expanded the boundaries of abstraction through the integration of algorithms and mathematics.
