i. Introduction

My works in the new millennium are primarily a mixture of photography, computer based effects and video. The photo based works (as well as related installations and book art works) often use photographs that I have taken over the last 15 years, especially pictures taken during the 1990s when I worked as a photojournalist covering political topics in Eastern Europe, such as the Balkan conflicts, minority rights issues, and a documentary project on Istanbul from 1999.

A number of works from 2001 to the present have used these images as a starting point. They have then been digitally altered and then printed on paper and canvas. Often the resulting works appear, at first glance, to be paintings, drawings, traditional prints (such as lithographs or silk-screen) or collages. At closer inspection the viewer slowly becomes aware of their digital origins. One series, the Source Code Images, make this point more obvious by including software source code text as part of the images. Often my works have two dates - the date the photograph was taken and the date the image was transformed.
