Man Friday’s Ideas: Is It Plant, Animal Or Mineral (2015-01-02)

This traditional first question in the Twenty Questions game is also a reasonable question when actually observing something in the real world. Of course, it is only the beginning of the quest to identify something. But it is a task made much easier by collaboration on the Internet. Here are three great taxonomical resources.

02-Bless Sound (2015-01-04)

Many of my early digital art series dealt specifically with ideas from physics and mathematics. Construction 08:  Euclidean Hexaemeron, completed August 1, 1988.  It consisted of 6 works.

A hexaemeron is a treatise dealing with the six days of Creation.  Euclid 'discovered' geometry. God created it.  Some of us use our time to play with it.

01-The Bittersweet (2015-01-10)

The series Schrodinger’s Muse, like Euclidean Hexaemeron, was inspired by contemporary science and math. These works are modest attempts to capture some of the sensuous magic of modern physics in words and images, to humanize the stark and elegant geometry that science uses to describe the universe. Completed March 19, 1989, it consists of 6 works.

4-All The Fractal

Man Friday’s Ideas: The Roots Of Avant-Garde Music (2015-01-16)

The Twentieth Century saw drastic breaks from tradition in all the arts. Music is certainly no exception. It should be noted that such labels as ‘classical’, ‘jazz’, or ‘rock’ are arbitrary and the radical new music rejected such pigeonholing.

02-Inside Equations (2015-01-18)

I completed a third math and science-themed series on January 14, 1990: Construction 11 - Implicate Order. The term 'implicate order', coined by scientist and philosopher David Bohm, refers to the idea that what we call order or beauty is enfolded within what we call chaos—and only becomes recognizable when it emerges into our dimension. The texts are all poetic expansions of fundamental principles and paradoxes of modern physics. The background images are based on graphic representations of the Mandelbrot Set and fractal 'landscapes'. The gradient cube and the woman are two different conceptions of order, which, if one accepts Bohm's Theory, are enfolded both within each other and within the whole universe.

01-The Stochastic Caves (2015-01-24)

On June 4, 1990 I completed the fourth of my early works specifically dealing with science and math ideas: Construction 12:  Mathscapes.

These 'landscape' images are drawn with 'brushes' generated by programs that graphically represent mathematical equations. The titles and text allude to mathematical concepts.

Man Friday’s Ideas: Six Years On The Island (2015-01-30)

Your Man Friday has been sending these weekly messages in a bottle from his island since back in January 30th of 2009! It is time for a holiday off the island.  So expect no messages for a few months.

Man Friday likes to assume that some recipients have enjoyed his weekly collection of three links to interesting and related ideas. So for those who want to express their appreciation, here are three ideas.

ORDER A BOOK ONLINE……from a site linked on this page: http://www.kenstange.com/RecentBooks/

FIND THREE LINKS TO SOME INTERESTING IDEA…and email them to me at Ken@Stange.com.  (Use “3 Ideas” as you email header.)
