Mega File
~ mega file construction is a experimental digital picture which is huge. It can be experienced with a viewing program. The experience is basically zooming in to details of the picture which expand into a newly defined interior microcosm. The clarity of the microcosm contains more levels to zoom in further. The viewer may at any time roam the picture in any direction as well as zooming in and out. Although this is a 2D picture, though the experience has a flying feel. In a later project I will bring it into a virtual 3D space with sculptural movement.poetry, painting, photography, editing, writing,

Why would anyone want to absorb into their body of knowledge all the skills, and procedures necessary for these creations which are normally outsourced to professions with specialists dedicated for these functions? The only way to understand every detail of this art is from A to Z in all it’s complexity without interruption. This fluidity of understanding allows a dilation of focus within a seemingly huge amount of information.
