Eclectic Perambulations in the Noosphere

Desmond Paul Henry (1921-2004) ranks among one of the few early British pioneers of Computer Art/Graphics of the 1960's. During this period he constructed a total of three mechanical drawing machines (in 1960, '63 and '67) based around the components of analogue bombsight computers. Henry's second drawing machine and its effects were included in the major Art and Technology exhibition of 1968: Cybernetic Serendipity (I.C.A, London).

"RGB
Color est e pluribus unus
RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”.
RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus.
RGB’s technique consists in the overlapping of three different images, each one in a primary color. The resulting images from this three level’s superimposition are unexpected and disorienting. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a colored filter (a light or a transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. The filter’s colors are red, green and blue, each one of them serves to reveal one of the three layers."
"IrfanView is a Windows-only swiss army knife for images. It's lightning fast, opens just about any format known to man, and runs off a portable or network drive.
The developer has been cautious to add features { such as a media player for music and movies } but not interface bloat. It's never gotten slower. It gets really powerful when you start using shortcut keys.
IrfanView doesn't replace PhotoShop, Gimp, or even Picasa. It just means you'll use them a whole lot less often.... For day-to-day editing and management, IrfanView is infinitely faster and easier.
It's free for non-commercial use, $12 USD for commercial use."

"Vestige is about a single particle transforming into several moments of complex organic shapes. It's appearance progresses into various stages of natural phenomenons, each of which comes from a computer simulated world and are slightly artificial and hyper real in appearance."
