Closed Circuit embodies the closed loop of an algorithmic world view. The imagery is a matrix of six interconnected stylized computer chips. The center of each chip exposes a particular computer application; from making patterns to modeling nature. Some centers were created by hand gestures and some were software generated. Digital systems also controlled the laser that cut the Plexiglas material - the computer creating its own image.
The digital process lends itself very well to making multiples copies. I am very happy that the Business Committee for the Arts commissions editions because they fully utilize my studio's capabilities for computer controlled fabrication.
