Project Details
- "The title RENGA (Linked Images) is a wordplay on RENGA (Linked Verse), a Japanese traditional poetical genre. The first ideogram, REN, means to link or associate. The second ideogram, GA, means poem. A different ideogram, also pronounced GA means image. Substitution of GA (image) for GA (poem) creates a new word: RENGA (Linked Images)"
- RENGA arises from a creative experience in 1992 whereby an artist interactively created derivative works from source images received by email. The new work would, in turn, become source images for additional work of artists yet to receive them.
- "Each resulting image is something which is at once unquestionably one's own artwork, while at the same time something which could never arise from one's own artistic monologue."
