of the prey animals). Visual power in business
communication, training, and marketing is well
understood by those who advertise their markets
visually and name their companies accordingly,
for example, through visual translations (http://
visualtranslations.com/). Science Translational
Medicine is a weekly journal from AAAS (Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement of Science)
integrating science with clinical medicine, focused
on applications of basic research knowledge to
improve human health: to translate biological
discoveries into medical advances.
Figures 5 - 7 present making translation of
patterns and structures into visual modes in a
series of sequential art media. A program “Man”
(Figure 5) is an example of a code used for a three
dimensional form of a transformed and abstracted
warrior. Since this image involves a z-axis, it could
be freely rotated, and altered. It was embedded
into different types of art. A synthetic image of a
man served as an inception for further transfor-
mations into a painting and a sculpture. First, the
image was repeated and transformed into a two
dimensional composition “Warriors” (Figure 6).
Image of a transformed man based on a program
was used in a computer graphics entitled “War-
riors” (Figure 6). The repetition of figures of
warriors depersonificated for the purpose of
fulfilling the common goal has been put into the
endless landscape. I unified the meaning of men
and a landscape using the same approach: rigid
order created with a computer.
