The results of his research have been applied to flight simulators, computer-aided design, scientific visualization, magnetic resonance imaging, distance education and special effects for television and film. Professor Csuri's early research team of artists and engineers formed the Computer Graphics Research Group (CGRG), and developed the basis for Ohio State University's Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design (ACCAD). His work is in many prominent collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and The Computer Museum in Boston, and has been featured on the cover of SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE. Professor Csuri, considered the pioneer of computer art, was the recipient of the 2000 Governor's Award for Individual Artist in the State of Ohio, and The Ohio State University's highest honor, the Sullivant Medal. A major retrospective of his work, Charles A. Csuri: In Search of Meaning, exhibited March-April 2000 at The Columbus College of Art and Design.
