KABBALAH SERIES

Mixed-media Digital Image
LightJet Photograph 1998

Ten Sefirot of Nothingness Their end is imbedded in their beginning and their beginning in their end like a flame in a burning coal For the Master is singular He has no second And before One, what do you count? Sefer Yetzirah The Book of Creation

 

This piece was our first artwork created exclusively with smart sand – initially, it only existed on our site – a digital image file with no physical output. Subsequently, inspired by a collector's request to purchase it and the advancement of computer imaging capabilities, we created the above artwork with high-resolution, digital scans that were outputted using a LightJet 5000 – a printer capable of imaging onto conventional photographic papers and film directly from a digital file.

When creating this image we combined two of the tablets from our LETTERS OF FOUNDATION with a NASA image of the birthing of the Orion Nebula from the Hubble Space Telescope.

The digital dialectic had allowed us to combine the protoplasm of Creation with an image of a new universe being born light years away.

This fusion of processes opens the doors of perception, providing us with an unsurpassed set of new tools – a palette of the imagination – only a dream a few short years ago.
