The three metre sculpture disc Tornaceaeon became a centrepiece in the foyer of the Berri Council.

In hindsight "The ability to mentally hold a colour form is but a grunt in a future electro-magnetic language," said Pope. Aldous Huxley said it better with his "feelies", but Pope is trying to take this thinking a stage further and make substance out of ideas in an attempt to explore the nature of creativity."

Just before his death in 1998 Dr George Cockburn, Royal Fellow of Medicine, London, Aesthetician to the Science-Art Research Centre of Australia, wrote within his Science-Art cancer research, that the artist, Robert Pope, was functioning under the influence of Immanuel Kant's asymmetrical electromagnetic field within the evolving creative artistic mind and as such his paintings were in some way carrying out 3D field vibrational information emanating from Plato's concept of plane geometry containing instructions belonging to his Science for Ethical Ends. This later became evident when his Science-Art paintings were viewed through 3D stereoscopic asymmetrical electromagnetic glasses.

It is very important to note that the reference to Leonardo da Vinci in the article below that Pope, not Leonardo da Vinci, was able to obtain a deep knowledge of both art and science seen in the 21st Century as being a basic concept regarding the functioning of a holographic universe beyond the comprehension of both da Vinvi and Albert Einstein.
