Feb 20:
After 2 years of mostly 0 daily
local cases of Covid-19 in HK,
the pandemic has finally caught
up with HK.
How much longer will we continue
living on a Covid-free island?
Less than a handful of total
cases on Lamma in the entire
pandemic so far.

P.S. 2 days later:
Our luck has run out, 4
new official cases in Greater
YSW Area, plus a few 'silent'
infections with no or mild
symptoms.

These computer graphics series
off
9 pictures has been
created using SAS/GRAPH, a
statistical analysis program
running on an IBM mainframe
computer @ Zurich University,
where I've been studying
computer science and working in
IBM research..
These graphics were very novel
and unusual back then. Nobody
had ever used this industry
standard statistics software to
create artworks, to my
knowledge. All very intricate
and complex programming on a
mainframe computer. All the
shapes are math formulas
describing my 3D shapes and then
rendered on a thermographic line
plotter. No files of the
results, so I had to scan the
A3-size plots today.
 
There's an identical series of
the same heart-shaped graphics
with my wife's name instead of
LOVE. These were all created in
between meeting her online,
pre-Internet, Switzerland-HK,
and moving to HK end of 1987 to
visit here, then staying here
for probably the rest of our
lives:
Real Romance in a Virtual World.

Brian writes on
his
website:
"I am currently looking
forward to a ten week
exhibition, February to April
2022, at the invitation of the
University of Hong Kong’s Museum
and Art Gallery. All the work on
display will have been borrowed
back from individual owners and
leading corporations.
The exhibition will open on
my 90th birthday. At the moment
I am cogitating on whether to
borrow two paintings which are
on display in the Hong Kong
Bank’s Art Gallery in London.
My most recent retrospective
exhibition was held in January
2019 at the kind invitation of
the Hong Kong Arts Centre."
The exhibition opening has been
postponed indefinitely from a
few days ago, Brian's 90th
birthday, because of the current
massive Covid-19 surge.
My neighbour Brian was just
featured in a 4-page article in
thee
SCM Post Magazinee,
shown in his impressive rooftop
garden which I had the pleasure
of visiting a few years ago:
P.S. Hahaha!
While finishing this story, RTHK
Radio 3 (which I'm often listen
to while blogging) is just
broadcasting an interview with
Brian!
