Not really. Computer art can be inspired or uninspired, just like art done with traditional media.

Sadly, most of those computers have been destroyed. I work just down the hall from where some of the first computer graphics were rendered, and even now things are being destroyed; original films (on film) from the 1970s get destroyed by mistake. Sad.

just proves what the makers of Tron said: the key is not having powerful tools, but the talent and dedication to turn dreams into reality.
it is amazing to think that most of the knowledge and techniques used in today's CGI are quite old.

I've seen this before... dunno where.
Makes me wonder why I need a GeForce 9 for crysis. It's down to the programming, such as in games, the SNES (1989) vs MegaDrive (1990) - The MegaDrive was 4x more powerful, yet the SNES had better 3D graphics. It's down to Skill, and lack of garbage (such as remarks) in the programming.
Cool.

Yep, it's amazing, but they did have the tech back then to do most of what we're doing now. Watching complex wireframes being real-time manipulated with a light pen back in 1980 is prtty wild. Things just got smaller, faster, and less expensive. That, and the interfaces improved.
