THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES FOUR APPROACHES TO THE CONFIGURATION OF two-dimensional pictorial space and visual language and describes the development of a constructed landscape in the work of eight digital artists. While widely diverse in theme, their constructs share attributes deriving from the effects of information processing, image manipulation, the patterning of mass media, and the fabrication of virtual objects. The author explores the attributes of this emerging visual language.
