Virtual Form

"Virtual form is a manifestation of numerical sets and programmed behaviors displayed as pixels. Even when the illusion of volume, light and space are re-presented through two-dimensional imaging, we (as bodies in space) recognize something inherently true to our own experience and nature.

These forms are non-objective and do not depict objects that we know. Instead, they are the result of a process of real-time invention and discovery that is purely visual. They have much in common with musical improvisation and painterly, expressionist instinct.

The examples shown are always being added to and can be thought of as the precursors, the experiments, from which this entire body of work continues to flow. 3D modeling, imaging and programmable, generative technologies are the tools. A lifetime as a working artist has some bearing on the outcomes as well."
