Close to 20 years ago I had my first glimpse of a new frontier of form made accessible with computing power. Since then I have gained a glimpse of this awesome array - too vast to hold Ð infinities of form. As the 21st Century unfolds I envision a return to pure form. With algorithmic procedure forms will grow beyond the dreams of first generation 20th Century abstractionists who will emerge as pio-neers of 21st Century formal art. I recall visiting Michel Seuphor in Paris back in 1963. He glowed with his vision of a visual world that could lead us beyond mundane social con-flict. Clearly the artists who pioneered the new reality saw it as a spring-board to a greater cosmic consciousness. They envisioned a visual art somewhat like a symphony of sound. Note how the symphony transcends political conflict and invites us to be in our bodies with a total sense of hearing and simultaneously leads us beyond the material world. Diverse audiences can share the same symphony without respect to their social and political differences.
