Theologue, Alex Grey 1984 (altered)


A stylised 'photo shopped' detail of the original panoramic work Theologue by Alex Grey, suggestive of additional possible states: The 'next up' in the meditator's progression, manifesting the event horizon -- humanity's return to mind mechanics ...

As I compiled a series of random effects and adjustments on this blown up crop of the original file, some interesting things revealed themselves. With the exception of three distinct halos; one in the middle at the subject's face-level and one to its left and right respectively, some additional and rather fitting elements emerged as a natural consequence of multiprocessing the data while applying incremental adjustments. For a side-by-side comparison with the original version from which this image originated, shift+click:

Why thank you dear 8)

I've seen it 'floating around' on Tribe.net lately...
Hopefully Alex Grey won't get upset if he ever finds out.

It's an ode to him, really.
