Portrait of a Gem Hunter
Designed and produced by Karen Bleitz

Digital preview of a work in progress from the Kinetic Portrait series. Computer generated 3D model of rotating aluminium cylindars and printed paper scrolls.

In this piece, the portrait is created by the ebb and flow of text (gathered from email, skype, and Second Life communications between the artist and an un-met online correspondent), that shifts forever between positive and negative states as the artist struggles to discover the true nature of the person on the other side of the screen.
