Our mission has been and continues to be the development of a native iconography for digital imaging. Using the computer’s own language, without scanning or photography, we have attempted to develop a vocabulary of vision as offered by the computer. Just as the camera and the paint brush have their distinct ways of viewing the world, the computer has its unique vision of reality. This vision, or rather the radical change in vision offered through digital imaging, is as profound a development in the history of art as was renaissance perspective in its time. We are going places that artists have never been before. The energy that is transforming the human race into something other-than is revolutionary and profound. As the body escapes its gravitational chains, we are perhaps evolving into another species, one that is biodynamically incorruptible and doesn’t throw up over Mars.These images celebrate the glory of that new energy field. While we may not know where it is taking us, we do know that a new iconography of seeing is required to express this new era.
