Kolomyjec’s Moiré was my attempt at making an Algorithmic Art contribution to the Op Art Movement. It is a mandala-like image that seems to pulsate as you observe it due to the Gestalt phenomena of figure-ground.
Twelve equal-length, equal-spaced lines radiate from the center. The ends of these lines split into 2 and radiate out a distance. (24) At the end, those lines split into 3 out a distance. (72) At the end those lines split into 4 out a distance. (286) At the end those lines split into 5 out a distance, so that at the final perimeter the circle is divided into 1430 points.
This was a real testament to the quality and precision of the plotter equipment I was using in the day. (Calcomp 936)
I've been involved in many aspects of computer art/computer graphics. First as a student and pioneer of the medium at Michigan State University (MSU). Followed by several years of professing engineering graphics, computer graphics and computer art at The Ohio State University (OSU). Followed by being called upon to start a program at Northern Illinois University (NIU), College of Visual and Performing Arts, School of Art, Department of Design called Electronic Media, where I was an Associate Professor of Design.
This collection presents the original plotter drawings (pen on paper) programmed in FORTRAN, executed on a CDC6500 mainframe computer and an offline Calcomp 936 drum plotter. Done at Michigan State University during my MFA/PhD era, 1974-1981.
First buyer of every artwork gets an original print mailed to them. Contact me on Twitter to arrange this.
