Tom has been doing groundbreaking computer graphics for more than three decades, and these examples are only a small subset of the artworks he has produced. Many of the images were created in collaboration with student assistants. Often the software involved was created by those students under Banchoff's direction.

Many of the image above are taken from one of Tom's gallery show, Surfaces Beyond the Third Dimension, held originally in 1996 at the Providence Art Club, and now available as a virtual exhibit on line. More information and links to the show are available by clicking on the invitation below:
