I designed the painting to echo a diagram Newt used in his writings.
While doing my homework before starting this painting I ran across Newt's paper on "The Age of Transitions" It contained a diagram with three overlapping S curves that describe the evolution of technological change. We are now living in a period with the two overlapping S curves of the information age and Nano technology. They form a box. I knew that this is something that interested the Speaker very much so I tried to find a way to incorporate it into his portrait. This is the diagram itself.
