COMMENTS
Continuing her work inspired by the Palomar Observatory, June Wayne returns to her earliest interest in dots containing bits of information. Filtered through the reach of the telescope, Wayne interprets the data collected. As a pioneer in the connection between art and science, she opens our eyes to new universes, inevitably shaped by artificial intelligence. “My Palomar is held together by the sine-curve path of a small square element traveling across the fields of each image. Here, early in the sequence of images, the floating element is just entering the field.”
—June Wayne, “A Catalogue Raisonné 1936-2006, June Wayne - The Art of Everything” by Robert P. Conway.
