Artwork title
Botty Shelly
Artwork description
This is a work of Postmodern Dada -- an artifact of CyberSpace -- Modern-day Cyber-Venuses projected onto my own implementation in Mathematica of the George Francis/ Donna Cox/Ray Idaszak "Etruscan Venus" as Marcel Duchamp's "Female Figleaf". My "Etruscan Venus" is being reborn in Botticelli's scallop shell which I also created using Mathematica. This sculpture depicts Woman as a four-dimensional, spiritual, intelligent, metaphysical, transformative vessel.

Computer Sculpture Printed Directly in Color
Artwork description
All the research on color in computer graphics in the 1980s
can now be directly realized in-the-round in full 3-D via
computer printing technology. Stewart Dickson demonstrates
recent research results extending the capabilities of direct,
in-the-round color computer-generated sculpture.
