Phil Stein

My technique is continuously evolving. The first pieces with a design similar to the current state were developed around 09’. There are many influences that define this imagery from the fragmentation of online video feeds to the visual and musical sampling so prevalent in our media. Almost all of the content we are exposed to in audio, print and screen, is created through a program in layers. The layering is also physical representation of String Theory's predicted dimensions, the current concept of the multiverse. Having been classically trained the Golden Section is often used as well as Fractal Geometry, which is more current and relevant to what is actually going on in nature. All life on earth for the first 3 billion years was in fractal form like the organic version of digital sampling. It seems this has always been a the theme of our space-time continuum, technology is just a remix.

Born 1/12/66 in Whitehall, PA. USA, received private classical instruction in drawing and painting from age 12-17 and then again from 22-24. Starting in 1990 while working nights in various factories, I slowly built a corporate client base as a self taught freelance photographer during the day. It took seven years to become completely self employed. In 02' I began researching Chelsea NYC to create a process for fine arts application. After two years of development work from the first series was shown in February of 04.
