Early Digital Computage




Harkrader bought his first version of Adobe Photoshop in 1994 after purchasing his first computer to participate online with the now historic Blacksburg Electronic Village. The BEV was touted as the worlds first electronic village and was a collaboration between Virginia Tech, Town of Blacksburg and Bell Atlantic. He used Netscape to browse for the first time and Photoshop to create his first digital art. The image above was compulation of photographing an early Harkrader painting, photographing his wife's automobile, using Photoshop tools to paint, blend, merge and layer the digital collage into one single unit of blended art.
