THE ART WORKPHASE:

  • This workphase contains works from 1973-1975.
  • The first hundred copies of this catalog contained a computer generated etching.
  • The graphical elements consist of subsets of the lines of a cube. This is an extension to the cube of his drawings from 1972 where he uses the lines of squares and triangles as the alphabet.
  • Rotation of the cube is introduced here.
  • Algorithms/Methods for this workphase: Series of all combinatorial number of lines n at a time, symbolic logic operations, various clusterings of elements, complementary elements, computer generated visual diagrams explaining the process, use of numbers as well as graphic elements.
  • In this workphase, besides the computer generated drawings and etchings, he created computer generated films.
