THE ART WORKPHASE:
- This is the first Manfred Mohr workphase catalog using the cube as a fixed structure. He uses the lines of the cube as his alphabet for his drawings.
- 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.
