TREE OF LIFE
is a large scale digital painting that breaks new ground away from traditional
modern and post modern art in favor of an art of light made possible
with the advent of the computer. This work was conceived and created
in its native photonic medium as a dynamic expressive painting to be
exhibited on a large plasma screen with the technical capability for
audience participation. The high resolution plasma canvas is filled
with all manner of close-up visual forms, symbols, images, from the
minute to the immense: a cell, a human ovum, a comet, a forest of stars
or a blazing galaxy filling plasma space. TREE OF LIFE grew from the painting THE UNIVERSE KNEW WE WERE COMING (2001) recently shown at Princeton University (2004) on their 40 mega pixel, 18 foot computerized display wall. I set to work on TREE OF LIFE in 2001 as a 240 mega pixel cosmic landscape of immense scale measuring 25 x 13 feet (21600 x 11248 x 300 dpi) to be created entirely by zooming and panning on a 21 inch computer monitor. TREE OF LIFE was completed in 4 years in December 2005 and was accepted for display at the University of California, Irvine on their remarkable 23 x 9 foot HIPerWall (Highly Interactive Parallelized Display. At 200+ mega pixels it is the most advanced and largest high resolution display wall of its kind in the world). |
