Frank Olson and Mike Field each formulate abstract e-art thatยs as trippy as it is intriguing. Olson, who works under a pseudonym, swirls and mirrors images in Photoshop for kaleidoscopic works rich with color and detail. Field writes computer programs that create images that look like theyยre inside you ย prints such as End Game and Neural Net resemble microscopic views of cell and nerve structures. Other works by Field, like But Is It Art, are more quilt-like ย large and small triangles create a red, orange and yellow tribal pattern that burns against a black background. See what else emerged from Olson and Fieldยs motherboards. Viewing is by appointment only. Through January 7. The Joanna Gallery, 4014 Graustark.
