Painting by Numbers
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly between the skyscrapers of a city centre? ... to take a trip through Saturn's rings? ... or walk around inside a molecule of DNA?
' Computer graphics' provides ways of simulating reality or building fantastic new worlds - together with the power to explore or manipulate the 3-D images created.
For the artist it's a new way to paint, or to animate a film; for the scientist to understand his data or test a hypothesis; and for anyone to play ever more elaborate space-invaders style games, or to participate in and control extraordinary, dangerous or impossible events ...
