show. It was really during that time that I developed the intrinsic ability to impress the realization that the visuals are "going to" the music. I've employed these techniques ever since. Back then my style was much more what I think of as "rock and roll" visuals. Now I have embraced my "slow art" ambient style and so I pair the visuals with similar downtempo and chill music. Thanks for sharing your time, Julius, we wish you all the best with your digital artist career. What's next for Julius Brown? Have you a particular video in mind? This is looking to be an exciting and productive year for me. I have extended my software to extract high resolution still frame patterns which are being printed onto fabrics. It is a new direction for me but one that has been very well received and highly encouraged by visitors to my studio. Also I have just started a year long installation project called The Image Maze. I am developing this work at my studio and will be presenting it at a series of open studio events throughout the year.

I read about the color and graphics capabilities of the machine and went out that week and bought one of the first units off the assembly line. About a year later I moved to northern California to work on a sound responsive visual music hardware/software product called the Mindlight. It was quite a cult phenomenon at the time! Later I worked for a few years doing live performance visuals with the trance rock Seattle based band Diamond Fist Werny. I would prepare visual samples and mix them live with a couple computers set up at the
The work features several of my light paintings projected onto various materials arranged to create pathways. The viewer is welcome to wander and perhaps become lost in this contemplative space. I will be incorporating new light paintings as the year goes by as well as making updates to the space configuration for each opening. My goal by spending a full year on this project is to create something bigger. I hope anyone reading this has the opportunity to experience The Image Maze in person. That is it for now, thank you for this opportunity to showcase my work! Tokyo Subway is viewable at vimeo.com/juliusbrown/tokyosubway.
