Host Daniel Durning
Geometrically inclined painter Manfred Mohr can easily shift from the world
of three-dimensional cubic forms to six-dimensional hyper-cubes. The digital
pioneer gives Daniel Durning the algorithmic lowdown on a system of computer-based
art.
With a computer and his own specially designed programs, the reductive Manfred
Mohr paintings. Best known for his geometric abstractions of 3-D and 6-D
hyper-cubic constructions, he discusses a practice that came out of his early
experience as a jazz musician and inchoate computer artist in Paris during
the 1960's. Mohr is currently exhibiting an early edition of his work, "Scratch
Code", at bitforms Gallery in Chelsea through January 16, 2005.
