The landscape images in our project are actual photographs of the earth taken from space. The pictures are of different areas of the earth's surface - some as natural habitat and others that have been altered in some way by man - either as an urban development, industrial endeavor or accidental event such as an oil spill.
we used these images in our project as a way of exploring the earth's surface as the canvas on which humankind makes his/her mark.
The lines that are continually drawn through the images are randomly generated from a computer program.

mim goodman works with projected light & has found a medium particularly suited to work which centers on the relationship between the material and immaterial world. Themes that interest her include the nature of thought, the transcendence of the physical or mundane, how we interact with the natural environment, and the scientific and historical record of existence, the spirit, the mind, and the soul. None of this gets too ponderous as the need to express delight in life usually gets the upper hand. Education: University of Los Angeles, California. Art Center College of Design. BFA 2000.
mary beth bartoloni has a subtle minimalist aesthetic that she combines with conceptual interests such as how light distorts or illuminates space, the dematerialization of form and how we see ourselves through the body and its relationship to the environment. She works primarily with architectural space and forms in particularly the wall which she sees as having a physical alliance with the body and it's connotations of enclosure, surface and interior space.
