Manfred Mohr Work from his oeuvre. “…The inevitable question that arises in response to algorithmic based art is the aesthetic value of something where the work is supposedly done primarily by a computer. The artist to some is perceived as absent from such mathematical constraints and rules of logic. It’s as if to give way […]

Florence To Work from Fovea by Florence To “”Providing a constant background upon which a stimulus can be superimposed: an absolute threshold upon the dark-adapted state, a differential threshold upon the light-adapted state. Hecht had written equations for the steady state; and by assuming that the visual threshold, absolute or differential, corresponds to a constant increment […]

Michael Bell-Smith Work from “mbs_fp_090712” at Foxy Productions, New York. “It is impossible to identify a beginning or end to any ofMichael Bell-Smith’s four new videos.
