TamÃs WALICZKY is a pioneer in animation art. He developed new poetic and visionary computer-generated worlds. Through experimental techniques such as the "waterdrop-perspective-system", which WALICZKY invented for 'The Garden' in 1992, he profoundly influenced the aesthetics in this genre.

Jeffrey SHAW: 'The Garden' represented the achievement of an artist [â] who had discovered  the radically new expressive possibilities of computer-generated images and who was working at a level of creative freedom and  inventiveness that was in marked contrast to the prescribed clichÃs that were (and still are) the outcome of industrial computer animation. 

Itsuo SAKAE: ['The Way'] stimulates our intellectual inquiry and inspires a new type of sensibility towards visual _expression_. 

Steve FORE Waliczkys artworks require, in addition to a visual encounter, a bodily engagement with perspectival universes deliberately configured to contradict our normal understandings of space and time.

WALICZKY is renowned for exploring time, space and movement in virtual worlds and combining it with narrative elements based on personal experience. His recent video installation 'Micromovements in snapshots' (2014) decodes the illusion of movement in animation using photographs illustrating the special Hong Kong way of living and cityscape.

Currently WALICZKY is professor at the School of Creative Media at the City University of Hong Kong. His works won numerous international awards, including the Golden Nica of Prix Ars Electronica and were shown in exhibitions worldwide, including the Biennial of Lyon, the ICC Gallery Tokyo, the Multimediale Karlsruhe or the Biennial of Seville.

ADA: THOUSANDS OF ARTWORKS
Since its foundation in 1999, the ARCHIVE OF DIGITAL ART (former Database of Virtual Art) has grown to be the most important online archive for digital art. In cooperation with established media artists, researchers and institutions it has been documenting the rapidly evolving world of digital art and its related fields for more than a decade and contains today a selection of thousands of artworks at the intersection of art, science and technology.

COLLABORATIVE ARCHIVING OF DIGITAL ART
The large assortment of information on TamÃs WALICZKY  and hundreds of other leading artists and their artworks were carried out by the artists themselves in assistance with members of the ADA community. The new ADA web tool allows members to archive artist statements, works descriptions, literature, information on exhibitions, high resolution images, blueprints, videos etc. Artists and scholars are invited to contribute actively to the archive and to work collaboratively on the documentation and analysis of digital art.

EXPANDED DOCUMENTATION FOR THE NEEDS OF DIGITAL ART
Due to the processual, ephemeral, interactive, technology-based and fundamentally context-dependent character of digital art, it is at risk for becoming extinct without an adequate documentation. Therefore, the ADA is based on an expanded concept of documentation, which takes account of the specific conditions of digital art.
