genre: algorithmic art, abstract 3D art media: digital direct photographic print released: 2004 Following in the wake of Wirescapes, Hyperstills expands further on the notion of Action Painting by transporting it into the realm of interactive virtual sculpture and animated 3D space. In order to explore the inherent collaborative process between artist and machine, John Vega creates conditions that generate unlimited representations of a fleeting moment. His approach harnesses dynamic instructions (scripts) for creating a still image or living scene, by which he choreographs “impossible” 3D objects, surfaces, textures and lights. The scripts inform and alter the character of the objects over time, yielding infinite underlying forms. The resulting rendered still images are printed on photo paper using a digital direct photographic process. John Vega is "the" innovator in the Digital Arena of the Visionary Tribe. He layers fields of subtle energies like the old masters applied glazes of oil to render the Beauty of Nature....the Nature of John's work evokes sacred inner place while reaching for the infinite of outer space. -- Philip Rubinov Jacobson Exhibitions/Installations/Awards: 2006 'Immersion 2' Audio CD Cover Art | Steve Roach | Projekt 2005 Virtual Fields | Post Picasso Online Exhibition 2005 ELEMENTAL 2 | Digital Art Book (Orchid Series 03 F59) 2005 EXPOSÉ 3 | Digital Art Book (Alien Heart Surgery) 2005 LACDA Top 40 International Juried Show | Los Angeles Center For Digital Art | Los Angeles 2005 Solo Exhibition | Barnes & Noble Booksellers | Boulder 2004 EP Designworks | November 2004 Exhibition | online 2004 Snap-to-Grid" | Los Angeles Center For Digital Art | Los Angeles 2004 MOCA - The Museum of Computer Art | online 2004 TOMORROW: an exhibition of DIGITAL2004 finalists | Hall of Science| New York 2004 A Beautiful World:Art and Mathematics | Colorado Gallery of the Arts | Littleton 2004 Transition Media Gallery | online 2004 D-Art 2004 Online Galleries of Digital Art | London, Penang 2004 Rhizome ArtBase | online 2004 'Sour Thunder' Audio CD Cover Art | Keith+Mendi Obadike | Bridge 2003 Group Show | Gallery Sovereign | Boulder 2003 Solo Exhibition | Hapa | Boulder |
