Apple Development Intensive 2024, 🍎👩🏻‍💻: ☀️: Discussion 4.
Back to slide index.

This afternoon we are going to discuss two things - an artist (Sol LeWitt) and an interesting concept (the Tetralemma).

• Sol LeWitt was a pioneer in minimalist and conceptual art, drawing up rules or algorithms that then could be carried out by anyone - "The system is the work of art; the visual work of art is the proof of the system"
• "A History of Design Systems" by Rune Madsen has a series of references on Sol LeWitt and others.
• Great recent article on Generative Art by Jason Bailey.
• Solving Sol, Javascript implementations of his works.
• Generative Machines with Matt DesLauriers - great talk by a contemporary practitioner on their practice and inspirations

Finally, let's find out more about the Tetralemma, a precursor to the Boolean logic that we discovered today. Something that can be either true or false or both true and false or neither true or false. Aeon (another great website with lots of interesting articles) has an indepth article on the subject.

What questions do you have for me? Have any of you seen any of LeWitt's work in person? What do you think of the Tetralemma?

Thanks! See you tomorrow at 1000 sharp!
