DIGITAL CREATION AWARDS

Honorable Mention Award

[ Electric Flower03 ] AKINORI UMEMURA

COMMENT

When I was trying to decide on a concept, I started by asking myself, " what is digital art?", but had problems coming up with an answer. That is when I came upon the idea of creating a "computer-graphics-like" image entirely from digital data-- no analog materials-- and trying to display it as beautifully as possible on a CRT. The resulting piece is called "Electric Flower." This piece was created without any special meaning, so I don't know if it can be called art, but I'm happy that it was chosen. With this as a starting point, I'd like to go on to create more works and build a "digital space" based on my own ideas. I'd like to thank all the judges and the people involved in the contest .
