The Death of Platonicism

(Series)

Programme Notes:
A series of Java Applets based on a simple simulation of a TV screen with a variable pulse (delay and width) controlled via the interface.
 The process works in real-time and the image is the direct result of the interacting frequencies used.

Philosophically, the works demonstrate that not all images need to be representations of a Platonic concept existing outside the image.

In this case, there is no bit mapped image: The image is created in real-time as the combined result of interactions between the various frequencies involved in processing the data in the computer, presenting the results on a screen, percieving it with the eye and processing it in the brain.


Warning:
Image Flicker may cause eye discomfort or even Epilepsy by sensitive people
