About the Artist

All of my work is based in some way on the phenomenon of interference patterns. Being that the entire universe is structured and deemed functional by waves of energy and matter that constantly change through pseudo-random occurrences, I as an artist allow for these happenings to influence my work. The ever present waves of gravitation, electromagnetic fields, visible and invisible light waves, waves of sound, shock pressure and lattice vibrations; along with not so obvious waves of opinion and philosophy all effect my work. There is this omnipresent condition in our space-time life experience of the observation and disturbance of these waves that alter our actions and at times, bias for good or not, our selves!

As artists use paint, brush and other tools of the arts, I use anything and everything that comes my way to capture and express my feelings and influences of such interference.

As the computer has influenced our society and the world in general for many years, the computer also has influenced me as it has interfered in a regenerative sense, with my space-time. For the past ten years I have completed more than twentyfive hundred works of art along with several computer animation projects, all by-products of such interference.

Education and biography
Dr. Deak is a physicist and artist with a very strong background through experience in art, science, and technology. His artwork includes both oil and acrylics on canvas, reliefs, construction sculpture, and kinetic art works.

Self taught in computer technology, programming, and computer animation on PC, Apple MAC, Sun, and Silicon Graphics platforms. Over the past quarter century, Dr. Deak has completed over 4000 nationally and internationally exhibited works of art, including oil and acrylics on canvas, reliefs, construction sculpture, and kinetic sculpture. Self-taught in computer technology and programming, Dr. Deak is an unusual combination of an artist and a physicist-technologist whose work is infused with a wealth of knowledge stemming from his scientific and technical background.



EDUCATION

• BS in mathematics, University of London, England.

• M.S., Imperial College & Queen Mary College London, England.

• Ph.D. in physics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

He lives in Brooklyn, NY & London, UK where he is active in art, theoretical physics, applied physics, inventing, and engineering. He has taught and consulted in these related fields for over thirty years.



SOME ACHIEVEMENTS:

In 1987, invented a device called an acoustic levitation chamber used to levitate objects confined within a resonant cavity; for the purpose of studying material behaviour without the effects of gravity. The invention and related phenomena can be used for doing studies in micro-gravity environs.

In 1988, invented a personal air conditioner to be worn around the neck of a user for personal body cooling during hot and humid weather. It can be worn as a necklace or it can be inserted within clothing.

In 1988 invented a computerized system for very accurate measurements of the surface topology of surface finishes of machined components in the automated machining industry.

In 1989 invented an improved version of a mechanical sector medical ultrasound probe.

In 1990-91, he developed computer graphic software used with computer workstations serving as a media in fine art.

In 1992 he theorized an alternative method for triggering nuclear cold fusion reactions within a palladium deuteride environment using a phenomena called sonoluminescence. In addition, he orchestrated an event at the Plaza Hotel in New York City on the 24th of June 1993; this event which was a physics symposium aimed at raising awareness about this discovery. The event which he named, "THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, PART II: PEACE" included an audience of renowned scientists, artists, actors and actresses from the film industry, various media, and people from different stations in various professions all coming together to learn about recent advances in the area of cold nuclear fusion.

In 1992 he theorized an approach for making holograms without using lasers. It is a computer generated technique.

1993, authored a research paper, describing the possibility of using several phenomena in physics as a novel treatment for the AIDS virus.

1993, invented a solid state pump that pumps fluids with no moving parts. This has potential use as an exact size replacement for the human heart. Other medical and general applications are seen as well. The patent was granted on this device on 26 June 1995, US Patent # 5,525,041.

1994, consulted to design and develop an invention that will locate individuals from transmitted geo-position satellites and then relay this information to a central receiving location. The personal transmitter will be fitted into to a wrist watch volume.

1994, designed a device detect, interrogate, and analyze information during labour for OBY/GYNS to evaluate and differentiate between false and true labour pains during the birthing procedure.

1994, Initiating research to develop a blue water laser as a suggested source for Visible Spectrum Tomography.

1995, in January the presentation of an invited paper at a nuclear fusion symposium held at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, paper titled: STEREOTRONIC NUCLEAR REACTIONS TRIGGERED AND SUSTAINED BY THE PHENOMENON OF SONOLUMINESCENCE GENERATING SOLITONS WITHIN A PALLADIUM LATTICE LOADED WITH DEUTERIUM.



1996, during July 29 - 31 Dr. Deak presented two scientific manuscripts entitled "An energy efficient ultrasonic momentum transfer pump" and "Sonoluminescence" at the FIRST TRABZON INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT SYMPOSIUM to be held at the Karadeniz Technical University in Trabzon Turkey. These are invited papers.

1997 through 2000, created the following inventions:

A Method For Producing Transparent Aerogel; Using A Novel Technique of Acoustophoresis for Supercritical Venting.

Direct or Indirect Ultrasonic Treatment of Virus Strains and Abnormal Cells.

A Threadless Bolt and Nut System With an Ultrasonic Applicator Tool.
