After discovering Prof. Max Bense’s information aesthetics in the early 1960’s, Mohr’s artistic thinking was radically changed. Within a few years, his art transformed from abstract expressionism to computer generated algorithmic geometry. Encouraged by the computer music composer Pierre Barbaud whom he met in 1967, Mohr programmed his first computer drawings in 1969.</p> </blockquote> <p>You can go to the Youtube channel <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ManfredEMohr" title="http://www.youtube.com/user/ManfredEMohr" target="_blank">here</a></p> </blockquote>http://murmursofearth.tumblr.com/post/50583507804http://murmursofearth.tumblr.com/post/50583507804Thu, 16 May 2013 12:30:07 -0400“A universal guilt enshrouded America; and it attached to all who participated in those...http://murmursofearth.tumblr.com/post/50502831332http://murmursofearth.tumblr.com/post/50502831332Wed, 15 May 2013 12:30:11 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/101ddf748dc71061ead985e903b20292/tumblr_mmt9daWscy1qbtxv8o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/79c084180cb4f8b95980f57d6d1f4d7b/tumblr_mmt9daWscy1qbtxv8o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://rosalarian.tumblr.com/post/50452207989/tickingtimebomb" target="_blank">rosalarian</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard.
