who is
technochroma?
technochroma
is my concept
and execution.
It means I craft my fractal works with the entire spectrum of light and color in mind. You are transported inside an abstract tesseract filled with impossible concepts, shapes and shadows...
​
...a curious eldritch space, at once familiar and strange.
​
With my art, you are free to open your eyes
to infinite (un)realities and depth of emotion
as can be expressed through the digital canvas.
​
This is what fractal art means to me
and what I hope to gift to you.
​
—Katrina Fedukowski,
artist and creator of "technochroma"
​
"technochroma" is my creative answer to the fundamental questions of perception:
"how do we know what we are seeing is real?"
​
"What if humans could see and create with the full spectrum of light itself — from infrared to ultraviolet?"
​
It also references the word "tetrachromat", a term that describes a person with a very rare (and real) ability to see greater depth and nuance of color. "Technochroma" is also a play on the phrase "in living technicolor," which was the advent of TV broadcast visual quality of the former generation.
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.

Quote:
“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.
