Philip Nelson begann als Maler, integrierte zunehmen mineralische Stoffe, Artefakte und Fundgegenstände aus der natürlichen und menschengemachten Umwelt in seine Bilder. Mitte der neunziger Jahre erweiterte er seinen Schaffenskreis auf Skulpturen. Aus diesem reichhaltigen Schaffen wird hier ein kleiner charakteristischer Ausschnitt aus den letzten vier Jahren gezeigt. Die Gestaltungskraft des Künstlers erreicht eine neue Souveränität: Jeder geeignete Stoff kann dazu dienen, in den von ihm verantworteten Umwandlungsprozess einbezogen zu werden.

"Python is a computer programming language that is rapidly gaining popularity throughout the sciences. A Student's Guide to Python for Physical Modeling aims to help you, the student, teach yourself enough of the Python programming language to get started with physical modeling. You will learn how to install an open-source Python programming environment and use it to accomplish many common scientific computing tasks: importing, exporting, and visualizing data; numerical analysis; and simulation. No prior programming experience is assumed."--
