About the Artwork

The background picture "Somewhere in the Galaxy" was designed by Hans-Georg Türstig of www.digital-artwork.net on behalf of KMS Technologies - KJT Enterprises. As source material Dr. Türstig used originals from KMS Technologies activities during the past 4 years.

The artist's vision includes so called 'artnets':

"The artnet connects countless images, infinitely overlaying and creatively complementing one another – unfolding freely. Everything is connected, directed towards each other, dependent on each other, interconnected. Technologically created, the internet forms a cyberworld which fits neatly into the mundane world, resembles it and thus significantly influences our understanding of being, of our being in and our handling of the so-called “reality”.

...

Artnet includes digital and digitalized works of art. The latter ones include scanned images of an original placed into the net. Digital Fine Art on the other hand knows no original outside the cyberworld and thus is net-art in a more restricted sense. Here then we can differentiate between art which was created without any “real” elements entirely at the computer, and art which includes “real” elements such as photos or scanned material  as well as digital images of originals which have been further processed with the help of software and computers.

Net-art thus employs modern technology, yet how these tools are employed obviously depends on the knowledge and creative capacities of the artists. In this sense this new medium is not different from more conventional ones. Digital works of art can be printed, pulled out of the cyberworld into the mundane reality, and can thus remain within the traditional framework of art. It gets more exciting when net-art additionally or exclusively combines in two ways to form an artnet."
