While the cage in Escher's print is formed by interlocked octahedra, a triacontahedron serves this function in my work. My friend, geometer David Koski helped me build it as a 3D computer graphic model on the Cubicomp. <i>Tell Me the Truth</i> is about my older brother, David Acevedo, an excellent artist in his own right, who tragically succumbed to brain cancer in 1986. I began by combining two digitized photos, one of David and another of a few friends sitting around a table in front of my 1981 oil painting called <i>Slated Breakfast Visceral Analytic</i>. The composite image includes computer graphic artifacts like 'wire-frame debris' and 'brush strokes' using the software's rectangular fill feature. I even kept in the accidental data slur (seen at the bottom of the picture) as part of the final composition; this happened when saving a version to a hard drive that was too full to accommodate all the new data.\" \nVictor Acevedo, (see references). \n","physicalDescription":"This colour Iris print of a computer-generated photographic raster image shows a scene of some people gathering together in a room with a table, some sitting, some standing. The man in the front is holding a glass of wine. The picture is remodelled with some drawings and a sort of lattice system (crystal structure) is laid above the scene. As such the faces of two persons are overdrawn, giving the impression of them wearing a mask. Signed and dated within the picture at the bottom right with a golden ink.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Acevedo, Victor","id":"A29308"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"photographic paper","id":"AAT14190"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"}],"techniques":[{"text":"photography","id":"AAT54225"},{"text":"computer-generated","id":"x44521"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Colour Iris print of computer-generated photographic raster image on photographic paper","categories":[{"text":"Computer Art","id":"THES49037"},{"text":"Photographs","id":"THES48910"},{"text":"Prints","id":"THES48903"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2009BX5991"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLC","id":"THES49171"},"free":"","case":"MB2E","shelf":"DR55","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"photograph","id":"AAT46300"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"No","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"United States","id":"x29333"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"15/05/1991","earliest":"1991-05-15","latest":"1991-05-15"},"association":{"text":"printed","id":"x46159"},"note":"The computer graphic was created in 1989-90.
