Gallery of Lightvector paintings
Lightvector paintings are a new form of imaging, made possible by
lightspace rendering, as described in the book:
`Intelligent Image Processing''
published by John Wiley and Sons.
Lightspace rendering is a new genre of visual art that grew out of
wearable computing and mediated reality in the 1970s.

Here are the submission rules
that I've tried to impose on myself to make this gallery visually consistent
and useful as an existimological framework. Right now this is just a note
to myself, but as I expand to include work from others, this self-imposed
visual design style may also help make things more consistent overall.
