INTRODUCTION The Computer Art Biennale has taken place in Rzeszow since 1994. The person behind the very conception of the event and also its organizer is Mr Zbigniew Rybka. The exhibition attracted a fair share of friends and supporters already during its first edition and since then has been recognized and become popular all over the world. The Biennale offers the new medium a perfect occasion for confrontation, giving satisfaction both to the artists and to the public that willingly visits the exhibition rooms. The Computer Art Biennale originated at the moment of the birth of computer art and has become a place identified with this medium also abroad, as the Biennale is the only such exhibition in Europe.
