Saptakam Project:  Digital Artfields

by Hans-Georg Türstig, Ph.D.

Digital Art comes alive! Saptakam is a Sanskrit word and denotes a group of seven. In this ongoing project, a group of seven artists creates what I call a digital artfield for a particular digital or digitalized photo or work of art. A digital image (A) forms the basis, and artist 1 creates two digital pictures from it (B and C) and sends them to two artists of her/his choice: 2 and 3. (As a general guideline, each artist may select artists from other countries. They each create two pictures (D,E and F,G) based on that picture and send them to two artists of their choice: 4,5 and 6,7. (The Saptakam is now complete and may be named.) Each of those artists (4-7) creates two digital versions (H-O) of this picture which brings the number of pictures to 14  the digital artfield of the original image.
