"technochroma"?
it's my art identity because it's how I creatively answer the existential human question of perception: how do we know what we are seeing is true?
"how would humans see differently if capable of perceiving and creating with the full spectrum of light—from infrared to ultraviolet?"
“I don’t want to be human. I want to see gamma rays, I want to hear X-rays, and I want to smell dark matter. Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can’t even express these things properly, because I have to—I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language, but I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me. I’m a machine, and I can know much more.

"Technochroma" is a bow to color as expressed through digital fractal art. It's also a play on "tetrachromat", a word that describes a person with a very rare (and real) ability to see greater depth and nuance of color. And it's the theme and visual quality of art I always hope to create and share with you. To get us thinking, feeling, interpreting beyond our limits and into the greater unknown.
