Pixel Pushers, a gallery of artworks on paper produced by some of
the world's top illustrators and fine artists working in electronic
media. On June 15th 1994, Pixel Pushers became North America's
first digital art show held concurrently in real space and in
cyberspace. It opened in "real space" at Granville Island, Vancouver
where computer-generated work of the internationally respected
digital fine artists and photographers are on display as signed and
numbered limited editions printed on various media. For that "next
best thing to being there" feeling, check out the Rogues' Gallery--live
pictures from the opening festivities at Granville Island. You can also
read and sign the Guest Book.
