Abstract:
“The computer is nothing of particular
interest,” Jeremy Gardiner has
written, “but it does matter what we
make of them.”
Nothing of interest? Gardiner’s is an
unusual observation in an age that is
fascinated-often to the point of gushing-
with the computer’s ability to do
everything from solving crimes to creating
virtual worlds.
What Gardiner has decided to make
of them is art, at a bit of a distance. He
draws his inspiration from computer
and video images, and he uses computer
graphics to create his subject
matter. But he works with traditional
media (brushes, paints, and canvases)
to produce his final art. And he says he
was never tempted to give up his
brushes and immerse himself
completely in the world of digital art.
