What happens when you take 76 images of blowjobs (as in fellatio, as in oral sex), and mathematically average them? What you get is a blurry fuzzy picture. This usage of math in art is by Jason Salavon. He aptly calls it 76 Blowjobs.

 Albrecht Dürer, Salvator Mundi

Both main dimensions, 14 and 17inches, encrypt  the title of the painting, and a variant of Dürer's signature:

SALVATOR MVNDI = (19+1+12+22+1+20+15+18)+(13+22+14+4+9) = 170

ALBRECHT DUERER = (1+12+2+18+5+3+8+20)+(4+21+5+18+5+18) = 140

Moscow 1968

Hedy Lamarr, the co-inventor of the Spread Spectrum - a way of protecting radio signals from being intercepted or corrupted - used in anything wireless these days. Hedy also had kind of a rocky love life. She married six times, finally settling down with her divorce lawyer. Beauty, talent, and brains. What a fabulous combination!
