The Rendered Eye

The art hanging on the walls is "real" in the sense that it is a reproduction of art done by the hand of an artist. As such it is available for sale. The mats, frames, glass, walls etc. are an illusion. Of course, the works of "art" are an illusion as well. Is it all art? The walls, lighting, etc.? Only the paintings? Where does the illusion end and reality begin? The galleries you see are all generated by RAYTRACE technique, an image production technique employing a computer. The artist makes complex artistic decisions no different than those of other artists.Only the medium differs.
