W

hen cruising through the
William Davidson Digital
Archives, one sees all kinds
of articles, reports and advertisements,
and lots of photos and, at times, images of
works of art.
This prize-winning visual — “The Land
of Milk and Honey” — caught my eye this
week. It was the work of a fourth-grader
at Hillel Day School, 10-year old Michael
Rubyan. He created his art for a New York
ORT “My Israel” competition in 1998.
There were more than 1,000 entries,

and his was the winner. It should be
noted that honorable mentions went
to his classmates: Barak Lebovitz,
Erin Lifton and Alexa Lipman Cool.
Not a bad showing from young Metro
Detroit Jews that year!
It should also be noted that all of the art
was computer-generated. While, generally,
computer art was considered a new phe-
nomenon in the 1960s, it was the advent
of ink-jet printers in 1976 to supplement
home computers that was the catalyst for
the rapid spread of computer art.

The Digital Age was just beginning. So,
Rubyan and his friends were progressive,
to say the least, using the latest in technol-
ogy to create their works of art.
