Ogburn worked professionally as a graphic designer and illustrator for years, both in South Carolina and Washington state. He is very familiar with many of the programs used by designers to publish advertisements, magazines, newspapers and books. I have been using the computer to do some image output for the paintings I do, but I've never really honed in on digital imagery as fine art before. Ogburn plans to promote the exhibit in a traditional way using invitations, and also sending out e-mail invitations. My website has only been up since Halloween, and the response has been really nice.
People seem to be using it more and more to scout out art events.
It's another nice tradition that has successfully crossed over onto the internet. There is a feeling of distance and mystery when we view remnants of an ancient civilization. It is a forgotten mechanic, an existence which long ago passed into the realm of the outmoded. While art and culture of the stone age is but conjecture on our part, our own culture's most recent history is also quickly disappearing. The memories that we cherish soon expire when passed on to a new generation that is busily creating more current, more vibrant memories of their own.
