Robert Morris was one of a group of artists working in New York in the 1960s and 70s who were interested in the relationship between minimalist sculpture and performance, the body and object. Morris prioritized a heightened perception of the encounter between viewer and the artwork, the duration of that encounter, and the uncertainty of the artwork’s boundaries. For his solo exhibition at the Tate in 1971 Morris set up a number of sculptures which invited physical participation from the spectators. The exhibition was closed down after only a few days due to a number of accidents. Join Tate curator Catherine Wood in the Robert Morris display as she discusses the divergence between Morris’s ideal conception, founded upon experiments conducted within a formal dance context, and the actual spectator participation which occurred.

On November 2, 1988, Robert Morris, Jr., a graduate student in Computer Science at Cornell, wrote an experimental, self-replicating, self-propagating program called a worm and injected it into the Internet. He chose to release it from MIT, to disguise the fact that the worm came from Cornell. Morris soon discovered that the program was replicating and reinfecting machines at a much faster rate than he had anticipated---there was a bug. Ultimately, many machines at locations around the country either crashed or became ``catatonic.'' When Morris realized what was happening, he contacted a friend at Harvard to discuss a solution. Eventually, they sent an anonymous message from Harvard over the network, instructing programmers how to kill the worm and prevent reinfection. However, because the network route was clogged, this message did not get through until it was too late.

In the ferment of protest leading to the Revolution, Philadelphia's leading merchant, Robert Morris, played many roles. But he performed his most valuable service in the cause of independence as the Continental Congress's superintendent of finance. In that capacity, he undertook the seemingly impossible task of raising money to purchase arms for the colonial armies. Although he has been chastised for practicing the "art...of dazzling the public eye by the same piece of coin, multiplied by a thousand reflectors," he richly deserves his title as financier of the American Revolution. For it was his fiscal sleight of hand that ultimately supplied the funds for Washington's campaign of 1781, which ended in the surrender of the British forces at Yorktown.

Robert Morris was born in Lancashire, England. Morris moved to live with his father, tobacco exporter Robert Morris, Sr., in Oxford, Maryland at the age of 13. The younger Morris was provided a tutor, but he quickly learned everything that teacher had to impart. His father arranged for Robert Jr. to go to Philadelphia, where he stayed with Mr. Charles Greenway, a family friend. Mr. Greenway arranged for young Robert to become a clerk in Charles Willing's shipping firm. A year later Robert's father died as the result of being wounded by the wadding of a ship's gun that was fired in his honor.
