Through Jan. 29: John Fisher's "Algorithmic Drawings"

Mineral gallery

By Alec Clayton on December 22, 2010

I don't pretend to understand or even care about the science or math behind John Fisher's art at Mineral. There are nine digital prints on the wall and one interactive audio-visual presentation. The digital prints are beautiful and fascinating. In layman's terms they are time-lapse photographs. The other thing, which he calls the Number Tree, is an animation played on a television monitor that is hooked up to some kind of high-tech computer and a soundboard contraption.

To math geeks it may be fascinating, but visually the images are boring. Not so the prints. They are terrific.
