“Today an image has the life of a coin and a cell-phone application. It is constantly exchanging hands and can be held proper by multiple people.” Paintings for a new age.

"Where is the paintbrush? Giovanna Olmos is re-thinking how we can paint.

Today an image has the life of a coin and a cell-phone application. It is constantly exchanging hands and can be held proper by multiple people. Is a meme a painting? What are the formal techniques that reference this more liquid state of the image?

There is always a relationship between the rendered and the rendering. How do the digital and the non-digital realities converse? And what does this conversation say about the design of the tool with which the renderer renders? The paintbrush."
