"technochroma"?
it's my art identity because it's how I creatively answer the existential human question of perception: how do we know what we are seeing is true?
​
"how would humans see differently if capable of perceiving and creating with the full spectrum of light—from infrared to ultraviolet?"
​
“I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

"Technochroma" is a bow to color as expressed through digital fractal art. It's also a play on "tetrachromat", a word that describes a person with a very rare (and real) ability to see greater depth and nuance of color. And it's the theme and visual quality of art I always hope to create and share with you. To get us thinking, feeling, interpreting beyond our limits and into the greater unknown.
