About me: I'm a multidisciplinary artist, alias Zerø K, producing abstract works I call "metafractals", hybrid images made by combining photographs with fractals, among other transformations. On the photorealist side, I have a nice catalog of nature photography of Costa Rica, where I now live. I sell these by consignment in a number of local boutiques in my area. Also recently I have been appointed the official photographer of the Chaine des Rotisseurs, a French culinary society that produces fantastic dinner events in my "neighborhood".
I am always developing metafractals alongside the nature shots and often produce these pieces in large format (30" x 40" and larger) as a framed acrylic "painting" on canvas (museum quality giclée) or true color photograph (Durst Lambda/Lightjet). These are relatively new and advanced processes- I love the glossy quality and rich color of the Lambdas, but have to travel to the U.S. to produce them. The giclées are more economical and have the highest color quality and longevity (200 years!) that I have ever seen in digital print technology. Each large format metafractal is unique in that it typically is produced for a client from a selection of unused designs or a specific exhibition of which I do not make multiple copies.
One more thing about my dedication to production quality: Unlike many digital artists, I do not produce collector pieces using standard inkjet technology because it still has color and longevity issues. I believe that the proliferation of this cheap technology is one of the reasons digital art has been stigmatized from being taken seriously enough in the "high art" world (and on down). I aim to change that!
Here is a review of my exhibition "Windows to Infinity" at the National Gallery in San José, Costa Rica.
GOOD NEWS! My metafractal work has been accepted to the tenth annual Bridges Conference in Donostia, Spain! Each year, this conference showcases mathematical connections in art, music, and science at a different international location. I am very proud to have had all five of my submissions accepted to this exclusive exhibition!
Check out the accepted works and let me know what you think.
UPDATE: Well I've made it back from my European tour- I decided to expand my trip to include Amsterdam and Paris, as well as the beautiful Basque towns of Spain (San Sebastian, Zurriola, Guernica, and Bilbao). Here are some pictures! Don't forget to view the photos "full size"- many photos, especially the panoramic shots are posted at the maximum 1024 pixels wide ;)
If you'd like to ADD A COMMENT anywhere on my page, please note that I will not allow imbedded images, music, or other distracting stuff, and I promise you the same! thanks ;)
Who I'd like to meet: Press, art museums, curators, architects, dreamers, designers, similar artists, sponsors and fans of my work. I often visit the Bay Area, as well as my native Florida from time to time; please contact me if you are interested in artistic support (exhibitions, commissions, collaborations, etc), or just meeting as face-to-face friends when I am "in town".
thank you... i have never been good at math... or understanding the language of math.. but your improvisational use of the fractal is quite nice... and meditative... like a mandala, minus the mandala's predictability... or the comfort of a thangka painting... minus Buddha... but as pure, and alive with life and color.
..:..It's hard to tell what the sound input is sounds, a dynamic sound field of radio machinery with gentle sensibilities of musique-concrete turning into cold repetitive natural old voices. Some of these are the tape techniques of time-splicing in the dark mood, where sounds of a steady stream of hot lava and when silence is loops amplified. Most of the shining people go all the way out with nice cold lights hovering on them, disjointed drilling recordings drone nicely away, whether these are time things between high-pitched tone of something such as the recordings, or perhaps it triggers state of insomnia software mostly balanced scraping the darkness which can create processed thought enlarged sounds. It's hard to tell. A gently omnipresent surface even when the intelligence is an audible shining something somewhere in space. On a high, with stars, using headphones as if the crackles made in a form of soft and synthesizers, mostly atmospheres, the loss and decay of taped voices and man being logical in the crowd in the background and in the foreground call out during a noise that is a faceless piece of texture based on old recordings and indicates some of those places (which seems a more than unfocused decision). It's hard to tell. These synthesizers are now chopped up and re-processed as another fine blend of nature moments in a space where small stuff is assembled and amplified (or not) collage work is set against a hybrid of drone related music, that can suddenly change introspective into cold repetitive natural old voices. It's hard to tell. ....:.. .
