Elena Asins

Spanish artist working with mathematical equations in the early 1990's.
She calculates sequences of infinite reproducibility in her work. She calculates sequences, the mathematical values of which she then feeds into a computer to make a printout.
Asins' calls her work a "paradoxical representation: art without art, music without sound, interior art". she does not want to appeal to the senses, but to the inner spirit. All lines are pure calculations of space and time, like steps or pulsations. rhythm and progression result only from the spectators reading, excluding any spontaneous global understanding. Her work is characterized by mathematical aesthetic beauty.
Asins' work relates to our experimentation with the chaoscope program, using mathematical formulas to create imagery.
