Untitled #17 (Xscapes)
This series of digital abstracts (Xscapes) explores the so-called 'mind's eye' of the artist. This is the relationship between what the visual cortex (eye) observes ('sees') and transmits to the mind and what the mind imposes upon this visual information and guides the manner in which the eye 'sees.
Jeff Hawkins in his work 'On Intelligence' points out that the information relayed by the cortex: 'always flows in the opposite directiion as well...The higher regions of your cortex send more signals "down" to your primary visual cortex than your eyes receive.' And in the case of artists this is a particularly rich mixture.
