Eigengift is a short video prepared using the taxonomy for abstraction that was published by Leonardo magazine.
Update: Abstracting the External: iotaSalon 2.11 screened this movie at UCLA's Broad Art Center on February 21, 2011.
I'm very happy to be included in such a great program of works!
The Show:
Projections of beautiful abstract imagery that shows us a window into the external world - vegetation, rural, floral - all from a alternative world. Far beyond the reaches of the metropolis there is a place where gardens grow. Join us at UCLA's Broad Art Center - a deck and lounge area is waiting with glimpses of this world. Feel free to sit outside or in the comfort of the warm interior and grab a coffee inside. As always bring your thinking caps because at our salons discussion is just as important as viewing.

Eigengift is German for "self-poison." This title reflects the underlying cause for hallucinations; it is constructed in five interlocking sections where the progression moves from general amorphous abstractions towards consistently more geometric forms.
