Analog Engine in stereo

Analog Engine

 

 

Analog Engine is a sculptural representation of a logic circuit that is central to my artist’s software piece, ArtEngine, 1986-1991. ArtEngine used some artificial intelligence techniques to represent the process I use to make art: I take 2 different things and make a new third thing out of them.

 

 

The software I wrote was never finished. I made the decision to stop working on it when Apple withdrew their support of MacScheme + Toolsmith, the dialect of the Scheme programming language compact enough to run on the Macintosh computers of the day.

 

 

As for ArtEngine, the software, its main distinction was that it made a visual synthesis of two input objects by using logic.

 

 

This picture is a 3D stereo image. To see the 3D, cross your eyes. Or, download the image to your smart phone, drop the smart phone into your phone-driven headset and enjoy. For the best results, use Oculus Go.
