But before trying it out in space, researchers first need to work everything out on
paper in systematic fashion, like determining how far from a given asteroid the bomb should go off.
For example,
in her «Rubaiyat» series (1995 - 96) the 12th letter of the Arabic alphabet, sin, is distributed across a sheet of
paper in such
systematic fashion that its effect recalls the poured or dripped paint
in a canvas by Jackson Pollock.
