Not being obsessive (I don't think?) just loved the transformational almost (dare I say it) spiritual experience. I would say the lack of surface in the digital is problematic in visual interpretation. It's as though we need to always view digital as we view photography? I think what I'm trying to get at is 'what is unique in digital' - We have now arrived at complete deconstruction a simple colour square! After some thought, in my opinion what is unique in digital is the phenomenon of meaning making via a combination of medias including video, text chat, VC, image and metaphor etc. Hi Gina, Thank you –

But that doesn't stop me from looking at these paintings on my computer, indeed on my phone and thoroughly enjoying that new experience. Some argue that this is reinforcing an experience I had from viewing these paintings in real life. Personally I don't think it is just about repeat though... You may like to try out Rothko too…:)
