Note: Each version, in this Y2K Series, is an original pen drawing with its own unique sequence of two thousand improvisations. Two of these drawings, placed side by side show that each version in the series has a unique set of visual forms. The drawings for each version are penned with one color mixed by the artist. Versions are available in deep shades of warm and cool dark inks. Click below to see sample details from two versions showing differences in form.

Version 20 is currently traveling and shown as an example. Versions of each color are currently held on reserve for Williams Gallery clients.

This "text", the algorithm for a UTM, is "illuminated" as an authoritative "scripture" of our information age. The text for this version, "U", is the one presented by Roger Penrose in The Emperor's New Mind, Chapter 2, Note 7.

Illuminated UTM's: Three versions with gold leafed roundels were made between 1994 and 1996. Each version is an original pen plotted drawing developed from its own unique form generator. One of these versions is available exclusively at the Williams Gallery in Princeton. The Princeton version was shown at the Digital Salon in New York in 1997.
