Bo Gehring

is one of the first computer animators, originally using supercomputers and the Fortran language.
His works from that period are classics in the genre. His work in three-dimensional audio is also widely recognized.

In this show he introduces a new concept:
sculpture as an artistic process over time, where the process itself is the art
and realization of the physical sculpture is incidental."I invented a scripted computer modelling technique to create sculpture
which I planned to realize in metal. But seeing a sculpture reveal its beauty and underlying logic
as it flew into being on a life-size screen was much more exciting to me than the static object
sitting on the floor. And, free from the slowness of making what Robert Morris has called "object-type" art,
I could try tens or hundreds of ideas instead of only a few. My work has precedents in procedural
and process art but with the difference that I'm concerned with the artistic process itself as art,
not with anything ever being manufactured or not."
