LOGO AS AN ART MACHINE

Internationally-known Danish artist and sculptor Jørgen Minor has long been fascinated with using Logo to create art. As he puts it, his work “demonstrates what happens when an artist meets a computer program.” A gallery exhibit entitled “Logo as an Art Machine” of images he created using Logo programs was held in January in Denmark.

Biosphere and Biosquare – demonstrates in a fine way how creativity and simplicity work together. The program is only a few lines long and can be explained to anybody in plain words. The slow motion growth of the Biosphere is surprisingly close to nature.
