Waltraut Cooper's “Chronik” was honoured with a Honorary Mention at the Prix Ars Electronica 1990, category Interactive Art.
To me, the computer opens new ways, in art, in science, for the whole society on which it has unheard of consequences. The computer deals with tasks both trivial and difficult, tasks that partially could be done without, or else exclusively with the computer.
