From Zero to One The landscapes of the world that I saw from an airplane win-dow flying in the sky; the feel under my feet of the living land itself; the fragrance of air, from the Sinai to California, and in-between; and the legacy of painters, especially the 19th Century Luminist painters ñ all these have all instructed me. Through the maze of the brain, earthvisions are restructured into a universal code of zeroes and ones that only a comput-er can understand and obey. The gifted painter's hand then can be bypassed, diverted to another track, faithfully driven by a robot with instructions of which, what, where, and how to deliver the loaded train of earthscapes, transposed, transmitted and transferred to pen, paper, and ink such as The Clearing.
