This is (so far) an isolated drawing which uses the computer in an obvious way to mark or alter the drawing, similar to the "Unconcious Exchange" and "Binary Drawings" Series. In this case it is using a computer mark that imitates a drawing technique. The value-bar on the side reveals the image as computer-altered.
Unconscious Exchange Series
These mixed media works begin with chance and go back and forth in dialogue between the unconsciousness of the computer and a stream-of-consciousness/unconscious creation process done directly by the artist. Each individual piece is the collection of the sketches that reveal the dialogue.
They nod to the "exquisite corpse" exercises and exchanges that the surrealists and Da Da artists had between each other, but are instead a dialogue between the artist's unconscious, the computer, and chance, also following a stream-of-consciousness approach to developing the images at each stage.

Ecstasy
-an ongoing series
They have gone through processes both immediate and analytical. The people shown have been through many filters; interpreted by one artist, reinterpreted by another, and then broken down into data by a computer process. And yet they still maintain their immediacy, humanity and rawness.
