To integrate the formal concerns of digital media into my existing practice of drawing I intend to continue to examine geometrical structures and pattern as inhabited by subjective and intuitive awareness. This exploration should reflect the specific potential of visual programming. That is, to allow participation, change and therefore development of playful, intuitive feedback responses within defined procedures. These systems will take as their starting point different 'game' structures which will lead to visual outputs or 'drawings' in the broad sense - visual records of a feedback relationship between consciousness and the world.
The Japanese game of Go is of particular interest as total digital simulation of it is as yet unfeasible in its complexity. Programming in relation to Go has been most successful in providing a framework for human players to enable, record and analyse game play and the patterns therein. I have previously made drawings based on Go game play in non-digital media when i have found the relationship between clearly defined geometric form and intuitive content or play of great relevance to my wider drawing practice.
