Yuri Zupancic says his microchip paintings are an homage to the tradition of miniature painting, informed by the “smaller and faster…catchphrase of commodities.” He makes some of his brushes from his own eyelashes.
The biggest frontier I see today is where nature and technology overlap. Mankind and our extensions (i.e. computers, cities) are essentially natural occurrences, thus move and evolve in the same dynamic patterns as the rest of the world. My paintings on microchips are an attempt to broaden our perspective of modern electronics and acknowledge their position as extensions of the mind and its sentimental qualities.
