Digital Artfield for image A :

The process is now repeated, beginning with artist 2 who provides the source picture. Once each artist has been number 1, i.e. provided a source picture, one creative cycle of the Saptakam is complete: 7 digital artfields with a total of 105 pictures. Such a complete cycle is also called a saptakam. Thus a saptakam denotes the group of seven artists and a group of seven digital artfields with a total of 105 images. Each element of the digital artfields is equally valuable and valid, has the same right to exist as the entire field. Saptakams and digital artfields liberate single images and artists from their individual isolation. There is no final product and yet each individual image can be appreciated independently as a work of art, just as each digital artfield and each saptakam. Thus a network of digital artfields spreads around the world, vibrating with creative energy and uniting artists from different cultural, political and religious backgrounds. Exhibitions of printed artfields can equally travel around the globe and bring the digital artfields from the cyberworld into the world of conventional art. Saptakams and digital artfields liberate single images and artists from their individual isolation. Furthermore they significantly contribute to global understanding and transcultural exchange which could very well become the basis for a lasting peace here on our home planet.
