Epigenetic Painting: Software as Genotype Epigenetic Painting: Software as Genotype

Leonardo 23:1 (1990), Presented at ISEA 88 (Utrecht)

The author discusses a personal expert computer system driven by his own 'software art'. The software (with appropriate hardware) generates paintings and drawings that resemble the mature work of the artist's pre-electronic period, containing brush strokes that exhibit spontaneous qualities. The author outlines the prerequisite understaning necessary for writing the code, aspects of the software and hardware implementation, the biological analogue (epigenesis) and salient questions raised by the new procedure

Artist's Statement in "The Derivation of the Laws. . ."

The Statement was published in the limited edition of George Boole's Derivation of the Laws� which is Chapter III,� from Boole's classic work: An Investigation of the Laws of Thought.. (Macmillan, 1854). The illustrations were generated with Verostko's software, Hodos. The limited edition of 125 copies, bound in leather, was pulled by hand at the St. Sebastian Press in Minneapolis in 1990. Each copy has original, "one of a kind", tipped in front and end pieces which were plotter drawn in the artist's studio. The work was also issued in paperback, in February 1991 (ISBN 1-879508-07-9).
