Large piece collected, assembled, rendered in acrylics while employed at Prodigy Internet startup. Stored in New York and available for sale to you half price.

Stunning! a compartmentalization of the modern hieroglyphics of our digital age; the labyrinth & mazes we have created for our electronic brains are here in an amazing Time Capsule artwork .. compelling, intriguing & ultimately satisfying. This is in an elite category all its own :))
Stephen Killeen
Fantastic work James... love the arrangement of the design and tones. very interesting to look at and great feel and mood. I liked reading the description as well... takes me back to the 1990s and early days of the Internet along with the later days of BBSes/modems. ;)) L/F!

This is spectacular, James. It has a vintage feel, yet also modern. I love the colors, and of course the composition is perfect! L/F
Belinda Low
I got the retro feel - this looks a bit like turntables where vinyls were spun and good ol' songs heard...V creative indeed! Great work, James! F/V
James Lanigan Thompson MFA replied:
Synthesised subconscious designs in manufacturing during the early digital age. Highlighting the awareness of archetypal forms mankind continues to use since the stone age. Colorations are reintroduced gilded age via modern plastic acrylics. The underlying theme is modern plastics are both destroying our environs and beautifying it. It only depends on how you view this new material.

The feeling is other worldly....the colors so beautiful we couldn't conceive that they are not just design but are parts which function. Very nice indeed! F/L++
James Lanigan Thompson MFA replied:
They did function once. Carefully designed to house intricate electronic parts that produced premium internet experiences. In effect they where the skins (masks) of the digital age. A series I started in 1980.

I love the colors and visual interest in this a-maze-ing techno-retro work.
James Lanigan Thompson MFA replied:
Thanks Barbie!!! Painted in the mid-90s while testing new software at Prodigy Internet. Completely restored to new condition August 2015. Cherry wood box frame added.

This wonderful work neatly fuses the look of futuristic technology with the feel of ancient archetypal symbols, James!
