topography_of_the_psyche_01-3-detail.png

website project page: https://robgillthings.net/2-d-topography-of-the-psyche/ A project begun in 2013. I developed a simple process of placing vertices by hand using a drafting program in order to produce the iconic computer graphics 'heightfield'. It is through this mundane task that I am able to channel, as directly as possible, an impression of psyche - living presence - which is encoded in the resulting forms. This is really the formalization of the creative process. This digital image is a detail from the full size image of this work (which you will find on my project page referenced above and as an NFT on this site). This is an open project - I am working on a web app that will be featured on my website and also a standalone app (amongst other things) that may be presented at live events/gallery settings that allow participants to create and modify the heightfield in order to generate their own impressions of psyche. robgillthings.net
