Memories of Sand: Excerpts of Computer Thought Photography

By TeER

The images in this book were created in the realm of the unseen. These are "photos" from the void that mostly goes unnoticed, the space between computer generated lines. In 1997 while using a tablet and a Macintosh Quadra I waxed about what was happening in this dance of bitmapped lines. When painting with oils and charcoal I am always fascinated by the texture and mini compositions that happen between the strokes of a brush. As the brush rides across the canvas a universe is created in its "wake". A professor once told me that every inch of a painting has to be alive. If one were to cut a painting into one-inch squares each inch would become a new separate work of art. Light and shadow dancing with thin and thick, layers of color melt over texture of canvas creating mountain ranges of form in the macro world. So what of the cyber world of art? What happens in the cracks of the texture of a raster-based image? Is there a silicone similarity to physical paint and charcoal?
