the artist
A he.
the art
3-D holograms. Visible only in virtual reality.
Translucent, not transparent; but you can "walk" through
it in cyberspace.
Early work: Representational stuff. Kind of like classical
Greek statuary. Only not as hard.
Later work: More abstract. Moving shapes. Geometric. No
"Jurassic Park" stuff. Combined with sound (music). Call
'em cybersymphonicvisions. Not like Hollywood movies; more
like TV weather maps, with a good beat. Maybe even with
"virtual smells."
the beret
Propeller beanie. He likes it, because it's so
absurd. Plus, the propeller is "high-tech," unlike most
other hats. The propeller is made of some kind of prismatic
substance, so when a light is shined on it, rainbows of
color are thrown around. I wish I had a hat like that.
The rest of the beanie is purple, with gold stripes.
