  L.P.Györi's first literary and computational activities date to 1983. He has made experiences with computer music –experimenting with his own programmes– and works on Computer 3D Art since 1984. Pieces, Structures, Sculpture Projects, Reliefs and Constructions in CAD (Computer Aided Design) constitute the several stages of over a decade of work as a digital artist.

After his meeting with Gyula Kosice (sculptor, poet, theorist, and one of the founders of the Argentine geometric avant-garde of the 40s) in 1986, he was offered a performance with poems "read" by computer –using simulation by voice synthesis– and an animation of the three- dimensional madí logo. He subsequently experimented with painting and poetry, and became interested in non-representative and rigorous geometrical formulations. After his study of the paintings of Rhod Rothfuss (the Uruguayan inventor of the "shaped canvas") he has worked since 1990 in the realization of Madí's "turning" paintings-relief and 3D digital animations of these geometric structures.

Estiajes (1988) was published in 1994. Poems, Information Theory and the computer assisted calculus of probability in the composition of the text, in order to change the usual syntax, restricting the redundant elements and postulating a strong non-linear character, related with what he calls "hyperdiscourse". Estiajes is the only work of its kind produced in Argentina, in the sense that the poetic information is qualified in bits. These experiments advanced towards other formative fields of poetry –verbal, visual, typographic, etc.– in the unpublished works: Atavismos (1989), Sincronía (1989/90), Vórtice (1990/91) and especially in Pneuma (1992/93). He also has written many theoretical essays and art criticism works. He is member of SADE -the Argentine Society of Writers.

As assistant to the sculptor Kosice from 1990 to 1995, he was responsible for technical advice, maintenance, planning and construction of water circulation, lighting, electronics and movement systems. During the retrospective exhibition KOSICE - Works 1944/1990 at the National Fine Arts Museum of Buenos Aires in 1991, Graphic Sequence of a Drop of Water (1990) –a collaborative work– was displayed. This was one of the first computer works ever exhibited in the country's largest Art Museum. Has participated in the realization of The Tree of Life and its Language, working on the design, construction and installation of a remote controlled electronic-electrical-hydraulic system which allows the incorporation of sonic elements, and their display through what is known as "spectrum analyzer", through variable columns of water and light. This work was erected in Centenario - Neuquén (1992) as part of Argentina's first "intelligent house". Has also taken part in the whole design process of the Thirteen Models for Monumental Works (the Halabja Monument - Iran, the Triumphal Arch for Barcelona´s Olympics - Spain, etc.), and on the project for Pepsi-ColaArgentina: Hydroluminous Reliefs; as in the construction of a large number of "hydrosculptures".

In 1994 he co-founded the group TEVAT and co-wrote the TEVAT Manifesto, together with the semiologyst and engineer José E. García Mayoraz and Kosice. Artificiality and virtual reality, art in cyberspace, studies of semantic fields, etc. and the diffusion of these new topics in the aristic world are an integral part of this manifesto. As a result of these activities, several Argentine artists have been introduced to the application of these new creative tools, CAD, interactivity and digital animation.

Since 1994 he has been working on the production of what he calls Virtual Poetry –the first conjunction between Virtual Reality and poetry–, related to his central project of the Digital Domain of Works of High Entropy.He also participates in the project "A New Art Critique in Cyberspace" by García Mayoraz, having developed a digital animation over "vectorial semantic fields in the human brain during the artistic creation process", an example of the Vectorial Theory of Semantic Fields by García Mayoraz, originating from the multidisciplinary studies of semiotics, information theory and the human brain. This work was noted by Professor Marvin Minsky –researcher in the field of artificial intelligence– during his last visit to Buenos Aires.
