The Diamond Lake Apocalypse Illuminated Algorithmic� Scripts.� Presented as an opened book with a page left and a page right, the work is intentionally fashioned as a "precious object" in the tradition of the illuminated manuscript. Just as the medieval monk transformed the written word through "illumination" so, in our time, with a pen plotter, an electronic sciptor, transforms algorithmic scripts into precious objects. With its network of pen plotters the artist views his studio as an electronic scriptorium where digital procedures are celebrated in the form of illuminated scriptures. The studio overlooks the Diamond Lake that inspired the title for this series. The Gold leaf element in each work, applied by hand, emphasizes the formal relationship to medieval manuscript illumination.
