"Self-Portraits" 1997

The New York Times September 28, 1997. The Magazine invited several artists who work with technology to think about how it affects their lives, and ours. Their contributions, along with their comments, appear throughout this special issue of "Technology"

The Electronic Gallery: Daniel Lee "Because technology changes the way we live and the way we create, it also changes the way we look. My image, therfore, is an evolutionary self-portrait -- a look at the distant past and into the far-off future. My eyes shrink as electricity eradicates the need to see in the dark. My brain and forehead enlarge as information expands my mind. And my features blend as communication brings cultures closer and closer together -- Asian, Caucasian and so on. Only the ears remain the same size, because we'll never stop needing to listen." -- Daniel Lee, 1997 Courtesy of the Art Director: Joel Cuyler
