Bergland has explored the production of digital art in an intense
manner. His first computer graphics experience began in the
multimedia studios at the University of BC in 1985. Over the
years, he slowly started introducing more and more software
concepts into his studio practise until today, his creative
involvement is totally digital. His digital art output has almost
equaled the very large output of his traditional painting career
and comprises thousands of completed images and interactive
productions. In this phase of his life, he has produced digital
work which falls into several distinct categories. From 1992
to 1997, his period of Early Digital Exploration involved much
experimentation with software to learn to develop a structured
style. This period also included much work in industry in realizing
digital concepts for clients and designated target audiences.
From 1997 to 1999, his period of Investigations included the
primary use of Photoshop to construct traditional painting simulations.
From 1999 to 2003, his period of 2D Fusion Overlays explored
the range of contemporary digital artists and the growing styles
associated with fusion styles and the use of Photoshop fragment
overlays in achieving image dimension. In the period he currently
occupies called 3D Modeling Integrations, he is primarily interested
in the combinative use of 3D modeling programs and Photoshop
in creating images. His current stylings include a heavy focus
on fusion overlays and 3D integrated image elements. He has
been heavily influenced by the Scandanavian design group, Metalheart,
and works primarily in the structural formats developed by this
group. In addition to personal expression, he has also pursued
a number of industrial and corporate genres within the area.
These include experimental art, interactive art, corporate production,
advertising art, promotional imagery, information graphics,
multimedia, and contemporary fusion design. The entire basis
of his research program in techno-ethnography is based on the
issues arising in the digital studio. |
