...grown almost a hundredfold, to more than 30,000, thanks to a network of supercomputer centers established by the National Science Foundation, the national laboratories and various state governments. In a wide variety of fields from astronomy to theoretical physics, computer simulation has replaced laboratory experimentation as a basic tool of scientific research. It is much easier to study the behavior of ionized gases in a computer simulation, for example, than it is to build a full-scale nuclear- fusion reactor. "We've whetted an awful lot of scientific appetites," says Larry Smarr, director of the National Center for Supercomputing...

This is true of Marden's paintings, which at first sight seem to consist of nothing but line, moving across the surface in an improvised way full of checks, turnings, erasures -- a maze making itself.

Not for Marden the forceful calligraphic rush, the electric ink- blackness, of some Zen characters...
