Our computer duchamp.arc.nasa.gov
was the erstwhile host for our website. Well, it's not quite a Nude
Descending a Staircase but it worked well for years and met the
criterion of being named after well-known artists or contributors to
the understanding of perspective images. Now it languishes in the backwaters
behind our new firewall computer which protects it and us from the ravages
of international hackers challenged to bring NASA to its knees, wondering
in a UNIX-sort-of-way how the next Duchamp, contemplating a staircase
descent on the International Space Station, will render his cubic dreams.
