“Computer graphics have gradually become familiar to society within their short history. Now, computer graphics have reached a point where their status should be defined by themselves. This is achieved by entering computer graphics as art. Works necessarily have to include the history of images from painting to photography. Therefore, I intentionally selected a 2D Paint System.
As for the digital paintings of my entry, the internal shapes are not limited to one single frame each. The images are based upon a torus looping the xy coordinates. After shifting the coordinates, the next frame is drawn and enhanced. Repeated examination of the variable composition yields different images, from which a final composition or single frame is selected prior to printing. For creating art on a media without a past, you need experience in the system as a working environment. The Paint System must be understood as the interface between Man and the world. For me, the system is the environment that reshapes my imagination. But is it weightless or a heavy Synchro-Energizer?” (Sui Morita)
