Elena Asins

3 in 3 Perspective Scale 33 newplan (1989) is a computer-generated work by Elena Asins (1940, Madrid – 2015, Azpirotz, Spain). Asins attended seminars organised by the Centro de Cálculo (Computation Centre) de la Universidad de Madrid from 1968, where she could access two IBM computers that had been purchased for artistic and scientific experimentation. The algorithmic works she produced in the following years show how she was inspired by the inherent logic of computing. Her exploration of mathematical formulations in art resulted in her invitation to attend Columbia University as a researcher in the early 1980s. There she realised her first computer-generated works. 3 in 3 Perspective Scale 33 newplan shows the evolution of a geometric lattice of Necker cubes that permute slightly from sheet to sheet. The sequence is intended as an extract of an evolving and endless process of potential interconnections and moderations.
