"..the computer prints by children... quite a spectacle and an enchanting one...because the participants were encouraged to relate to the intrinsic properties of the digital medium.. ...while their natural intuition devoid of pre- conceptions grasped links with the changing look of the world and ways of expressions which shape our sensibilities under the medium's impact... portraits of close people convey the unusual intense direction a serious touching naivette which bring out the child's self identifying immediacy. the computer's inherent traits like its' specific enlarged textures with the strong dark outline which blurs jaggedly on edges are suitable here. children boldly and with atunement used the psyche- delic minglements of distinct and dissolving, shimmering hues and strokes for the enhancements for the typical young expressionistic overstress. freedom with the medium helped...to turn conventional stylisations into authentic images. ...on the other hand, rebuild the the artificial glamour of digital means can respond and emphasise the necessary artful distortion. the pure simplification of shapes possible here together with manipulating light, transluscence and superimpositions which infuse a feel of space and depth interactions, can lead to fine, near-abstract compositions. some of the best pictures rely more on the computer generated design proper, but evolve phantasmagoric atmospheres, simultaneously contemporary and ancient. the show is a treat..."
