1 Two 10

1990, Perspectives from Pennsylvania: Site-Works, Carnegie Mellon University Art Gallery, Pittsburgh, PA

1 Two 10 is a collaboration with IBM computer scientist John Cohn who coded a program to produce large numbers of shapes that vary in pattern, each with the same area. The uniform surfaces of ten laser cut aluminum figures are disrupted with applications of brushed, poured, and scrapped black enamel paint.   Sorted in linear sequence at eye level, 1 Two 10 mediates constancy and change, geometry and gesture, logic and intuition.
