Roz Dimon
An expert in online design communication and a highly respected artist, Roz Dimon created RDA Design with the credo "bring creativity to business and business to creativity." Of her artistic creations, Paul Trachtman, Editor-at-Large of the Smithsonian Magazine wrote: "Dimon's work shows the truth that art has a deep, spiritual meaning for us even in the digital world." See her ongoing "artstory" site, featuring over 150 original artworks and accompanying stories by the artist, at www.artstory.net.

Stevee Postman
"I believe in the sacredness of the earth and its interconnectedness to spirit," says Stevee "That is what my art is about. I like to blend technology with the organic in ways that communicate these mysteries through a kind of techno-paganism. My creative process is a sort of prayer for me, an offering."

His images are created by taking initial photos with a digital camera; and mixing, layering, and transmogrifying with Photoshop wizardry. One of Stevee's amazing projects is the Cosmic Tribe Tarot deck, which includes a collection of his visionary art. Stevee lives in Portland, Oregon.

"We are witness today to the emergence of an ancient spiritual vitality into modern affairs. Call it the River of Sanity: an underground current which has run through all history, nourishing visionaries in every tradition. It arises from the deepest wellsprings of our humanity, and it moves us into harmony with the natural world and ourselves.... My work is to illuminate this emergence in the style or media most appropriate to the moment--Digital media or a pile of stones."

Frank Tycer
Frank Tycer is a digital and traditional artist, programmer, and musician, from Southern California. Interested in the process and juxtaposition of many different mediums - he combines drawing, sculpture, 3D, interactive media, animation, music, photography, and multimedia performance. Frank has composed and produced a number of musical scores and is exploring the integration of music, fine art, animation, and performance. Throughout his career Frank has established himself as both a commercial and fine artist.

Carey Thompson
Carey Thompson grew up on the east coast in Virginia and North Carolina, and has since lived in New Mexico and Costa Rica. He currently resides in San Francisco, California. Carey describes his work as holomorphic transmission vision crystals. The imagery channels through, sourced from the universal matrix, and crystallizes into form onto templates based on sacred geometry and other patterns of nature. Beginning usually with only a seed of intention, the color and form evolve unconsciously to create the finished art. Revealing the interconnectedness of all things is the primary intention of Carey's artwork. He hopes by revealing this interdependence through the visual medium humans can once again live together in harmony with one another, the planet, and with the greater universe.

Tina Zimmerman
Tina Zimmerman: Being continuously inspired by the ingenious creation of nature, I acknowledge Mother Earth and Father Sky as the ultimate Artists. Nature and nature' energy-systems are reoccurring source material in my work that celebrates the wonder of organic creation, of Life and its everchanging visual phenomena. As an interdisciplinary artist I work with all perceptual components -spatial, visual, audible, textual and temporal - using the computer as the universal tool that simulates and unites all traditional artistic techniques. My driving creative motivation throughout my digital art, video, webdesign and sculptural work is to unite and transcend the opposing realms of organic and digital, physical and virtual, and contemporary entertainment culture and spiritual intent.


The Be-In team is pleased to announce an exhibit by top artists responding to the Digital Be-In 13 theme “The Transparent Network.” Curator Michael Gosney (founder of digital media producer Verbum and the Be-In), working with sponsor Digital Pond of San Francisco, is producing a gallery of 13 mounted fine art prints to be exhibited in the SOMARTS Gallery during and after the Digital Be-In on May 29, 2004.

GALLERY CONCEPT

“The Transparent Network” 2004 Digital Be-In theme can be interpreted in various ways. Speakers at the event will address a range of subjects such as alternative news media, open source computing, freedom of speech on the Internet, access to corporate and government information and transactions, personal privacy, many-to-many publishing (vs. traditional model of centralized one-to-many), and rich content and meaningful interactions via increasingly invisible technologies. Topics will transcend the digital realm as well: biomimicry, the Web of Life, sustainability strategies, Teilhard’s noosphere, Sheldrake’s morphogenetic field, the “innernet” of collective consciousness, dolphin pods, remote viewing, the galactic ecology, the holographic universe, Indra's Web, the Akashic Record, clear light, cosmic awareness, universal love...all aspects of the transparent network.

DIGITAL POND
