Digital print

Barney Meyer

"Engineer, Mathematician, Itinerant street photographer, Denizen of the Dark, Dank and Derelict. I depict for you the endless cycle of dereliction, decay and renewal of Megalopolis." - Barney Meyer.

The artistic and technical challenge of making art out of dark and derelict buildings and back city alleys excites Meyer.

To produce these large panoramic images of 100 Megapixels or more, he has to capture 50 to 100+ images of a scene, blend them together seamlessly, and map them using mathematical projections based on those first developed by ancient mapmakers, modified suitably for the nature of the scene and what he wants to finally project.

Andy Thomas

Always interested in painting and drawing from a young age, Andy began his career with his involvement in Melbourne’s early rave scene back in 1993 creating UV murals for parties. His love of electronic music and all things digital lead him into the realm of computers in 1997 after finishing a graphic design course at Monash University Melbourne.  In recent years he has begun to experiment with creating a visual fusion between Nature and Technology, by taking photos of plants, insects and machines and compositing them with artificially created forms in various 3D programs. His photographic endeavours have led him to such exotic locations as Borneo, Laos and the rainforests of Tasmania and the Daintree River. 2010 and 2011 has seen the begining of the Stemcell project. Through the use of digital audio software Andy has begun to experiment with creating audio life forms that react to sounds. Corrupting nature with technology, by sampling sounds of the forest and running them through various computer programs.
