Organized by Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)
Digital'05: EXQUISITE, ASCI's seventh annual, international open competition and exhibition, examines what artists and scientists would like to reveal to us about the nature of the exquisite in all of its ramifications. Many contemporary artists have become adept at using computer graphics and other imaging and high-tech data translation tools to realize exquisite digital prints. Many of the images in this exhibition could never be accomplished by the human hand alone, and some are those that the human eye cannot see alone. These include: algorithmically hybridized flowers, images produced by computations from Strange Attractor equations, infrared landscapes, images exploring the mathematical structures of nature, and even those made by using computer code that simulates the behaviors of charged particles colliding in a bubble chamber.
Twenty-one artists were selected from 266 international entrants [from as far away as New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Argentina, as well as across the United States and Canada] to create this year's exhibition.

Helyn's art: be it a standard or a digital camera, a digital image software or her darkroom, the results are equally unique, fascinating and her own. Not bound by her experience or knowledge, she captures her subjects as if they were butterflies - not disecting, not analyzing, but capturing the flight and the beauty.
