There were two movements in the history of art, one representational, the other abstract. These are considered antithetical to one another.
My art is both representational and abstract, a synthesis of the antithetical. It is representational abstraction. This merger of representational and abstract art is made possible by the merger of technology and art.
Examples of my art being representational are my use of DNA data and CERN Large Hadron Collider data. DNA represents the person. The CERN data not only represent the muons, bosons, etc., but also are these particles as the particles die within nanoseconds, and all that is left are the data.
My art is an abstraction of the representational data.
My previous careers include psychologists, strategic planner, data miner, data architect, and data scientist. I have been awarded multiple patents in pattern recognition methods and software. Having lived in San Francisco and New York City I currently live in Austin where I create data art, data mine the Dog Aging Project database, and train a therapy dog.
