Art in Silicon Valley

In 1983, I moved south from Monte Rio to Silicon Valley, California, which is the base for all work through 2001. I lived in Menlo Park  and Mountain View but worked in the cities of Sunnyvale, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, Redwood City and Cupertino. At a start-up with a Mac network in 1986, I was ready for HyperCard and SuperCard to program my Mac and continue exporting my visions. My entry to art had been via Zen ink painting, so I was enchanted and thrilled when Mac Calligraphy appeared. In the computer industry, I used VAX, DOS, UNIX, PC, Macintosh, and Silicon Graphics (SGI) systems.

Starting in 1991, through 1992, as a technical writer documenting apps for computer programmers, I submitted a project called "Seeing C++". In 2026, GeminiAI helped Caroling define and format the Seeing C++ archive.

At SGI I was lucky enough to work under Jim Clark and some of the people who left SGI to found Netscape web browser. So I learned HTML and ventured into web research and development in 1993. Artmaking now includes photography, rough sculpture, and mostly Macintosh web publishing. All Web Art through 2001 is a subset of this page. Continuing visions found an outlet in my living room/studio. See lostNfound.

Computer signal. Antithesis to the thesis (see Minnesota art, University of Minnesota, MFA).

Here is my first Flash animation (1999). The image of a rough sculpture of 3bc, the third base camp, is an example of my artmaking process. I photographed the sculpture, scanned the photo, and imported the digitized graphic into Flash. Still, it's a sketch. Stay tuned. In 2002, I retired to Florida, where art on the computer continued.
