We do not have to ask: what can the computer do?, but reverse the question by asking ourselves: what do we want to do? and then consider whether the help of a machine could be useful for our purpose. If the answer is positive, we have to find ways of asking the machine the right questions in order to get reasonable results, amplifying our thoughts and intentions. Proceeding in this way is an important step towards a systematic approach of aesthetical problems. Abraham Moles once said: "La machine ne pense pas, elle nous fait penser."

Manfred Mohr - P159 A (1973)

The illussion of a three-dimensional cube is evoked by projecting a set of 12 straigh lines onto the two-dimensional drawing plane. Mohr dissolves the three-dimensional by taking away edges(lines) of the cube consecutively and observes the appearance of new, two-dimensional icons. Inaddition, he introduces rotations and other transformations of the cube to foster visual ambiguity and instability. The dynamics of this process and its visual invention are explored systematically, and each result is drawn as part of a cluster of images representing the complete set of combinations.
