Within a year, I had a set of subroutines someone dubbed BEFLIX, acronym for "Bell Flicks," arguably the first computer language specifically for movie making. (I have also been called the inventor of the pixel, which is a bit of a reach, though I might claim independent discovery.)
I developed a program to explore structured randomness -- the goal was to quickly provide compositional possibilities that I could reject or accept for further development
I began to look at the pixel within the context of Abstractionism and Minimalism. I used my self-portrait as a testing ground to begin to equate the pixel with the works of nonobjective artists who generated works to establish an abstract visual language of the sublime, pure color, geometric form, deep contemplation and metaphysical pursuit of the truth.
