Wikipedia

  1. seurat

    Georges Pierre Seurat (UK: SUR-ah, -⁠ə, US: suu-RAH, French: [ʒɔʁʒ pjɛʁ sœʁa]; 2 December 1859 – 29 March 1891) was a French post-Impressionist artist. He devised the painting techniques known as chromoluminarism and pointillism and used conté crayon for drawings on paper with a rough surface. Seurat's artistic personality combined qualities that are usually thought of as opposed and incompatible: on the one hand, his extreme and delicate sensibility, on the other, a passion for logical abstraction and an almost mathematical precision of mind. His large-scale work A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1884–1886) altered the direction of modern art by initiating Neo-Impressionism, and is one of the icons of late 19th-century painting.

  1. seurat

    Georges-Pierre Seurat (1859-1891) was a renowned French post-Impressionist artist known for developing a technique of painting known as pointillism, which uses small, distinct dots of color applied in patterns to form an image. The term "Seurat" can therefore generally refer to either the artist himself or the distinctive style of painting that he pioneered.

  1. Seurat

    Seurat is a fictional character of the Dune novels. In the Legends of Dune prequels of Dune, Seurat was an independent thinking machine who pilots an update ship through the Synchronized Worlds with the help of the son of Titan Agamemnon, Vorian Atreides. In the Butlerian Jihad, Seurat delivers his Omnius updates with the help of Vorian Atreides, a high ranking trustee and son of the Cymek Titan General Agamemnon. Seurat delivers copies of Omnius to each and every world controlled by Omnius. These copies are downloaded into the Omnius system on each planet thus updating them. Update ships constantly move throughout the Synchronized Worlds keeping the Omnius copies in sync. On several of these trips he is accompanied by Vorian Atreides where they play several different mentally challenging games in order to train Vorian's mental capacity. Vorian affectionally refers to Seurat as "Old Metalmind." When Vorian defects to the human alliance he disables Seurat and leaves him drifting in space for several decades after taking with him a full copy of the Earth Omnius. Twenty-five years after being disabled, Seurat awakes and his programming reboots completely. He checks the storage compartment, where he finds the Omnius copy in place, not knowing that Vorian Atreides has modified it with alternate programming and computer viruses. He continues on his update trip towards the rest of the Synchronised Worlds with the tainted Earth Omnius copy. Soon after delivering the updates to the first set of Synchronised Worlds severe malfunctions begin hindering and later threaten the Synchronised Worlds. The planet Bela Tegeuse was hit hardest, while on Corrin, Erasmus was clever enough to minimize the damage.
