Digital photo artist Ture Sjölander belongs to the pioneering Swedes who developed "Computer Art" from the mid-1960s and onwards. From 1966 and during the following years, he created works of art that today belong to the collections of Moderna Museet in Stockholm.

The origins of Swedish Computer Art came from various avant-garde groups and international influences. At the time of Ture Sjölander's serigraph "ABBA", for example Andy Warhol made serigraphs based on photos of Mick Jagger in the Rolling Stones.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Sweden was at the forefront of art development in terms of new media. In addition to Ture Sjölander, the innovative digital art expressions were developed by, among others, Beck & Jung, Sture Johannesson and Torsten Ridell.

Ture Sjölander's artist debut came at a solo exhibition at Sundsvall's museum in 1961. Since then, he has made himself known for experimental avant-garde art, based on photos, animations and video installations.
