TRAN2: a computer graphics program to make sculpture

Historically the techniques of sculpture have tended to reflect the technological character and level of the society in which the sculpture was made. If primitive man carved bone and the Greeks cast in bronze it should not be surprising that sculptors today are using plastics, lasers, strobes, electronic circuitry and transducers to link art with contemporary technology. Even so, this still does not account for why some of us have been using the computer, assigning it a status above other "art-and-technology" possibilities and viewing it as nothing less than portentous in its implications for art.
