signed and dated in graphite lower right title printed below the image lower left hardware: CDC7600 software: Program 21 with FORTRAN output machine: Benson Plotter The elements are horizontal, vertical, 45 degree lines, square waves, zig-zags, and have probabilities for line widths and lengths. The algorithm places elements in a horizontal direction and has a […]
signed and dated lower center artist name and title printed bottom edge lower left This algorithm uses the 12 edges of the cube as an alphabet. The number of lines slowly decreases towards the outside of the circle in a statistical procedure, while the cube slowly rotates.
signed and dated lower right The drawing is constructed from a series of 2 horizontal solid lines spaced a distance apart. Between each pair of lines, a third line is broken up into short equal length pieces and a random sequence of 0’s and 1’s decides the position of each piece. For each short line […]
signed and dated lower right hardware: CDC 7600 supercomputer software: Fortran IV plotter: Benson flatbed plotter “In “Divisibility”, the cube is used again as a fixed structure to generate signs. The cube is divided into four sections by a horizontal and a vertical cut. Four independent rotations of a cube are projected onto the […]
