for article titled, A Lesson with Francis Bacon Forced Me to See Outside the Software Box
Computers became more standard in the early 1980s, and science and technology were influencing artists like the author. He began using a supercomputer and FORTRAN 77 software to define a non-Euclidean geometry model using conformal mapping to create art. A series of twisted and curved space images was manifested, reflective of Albert Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity. It was the author’s encounter with Edward Teller, “father of the H-bomb,” that led the author to artist Francis Bacon. It was a private lesson with the artist that forced the author out of the box and into his own visual world.
