Jonathan Reeve Price starts with one of Hokusai's views, disassembles it, constructs a new picture out of the pieces, as a visual critique, and adds floating text chunks-brief observations, snippets of poetry, stray thoughts.

Thumbnails of the originals let you compare the before-and-after, gauging Hokusai's wood-block print against the pixelated, sliced, and diced collage, and the scattered texts in which Price reflects on Hokusai's drive for immortality, his exploitation of newly available pigments, his fondness for the interplay of text and image, and his love for the ordinary workers and travelers out in the country.

Starting with a Doctorate in Fine Arts from Yale, Jonathan Reeve Price worked in conceptual art and concrete poetry, showing in co-op galleries and museums in New York. But he quit the art world to join Apple, where the introduction of MacPaint was a life-changing event for him. He has taught information architecture, web writing, and technical communication through the University of California, Santa Cruz, New Mexico Tech, and UNM, and he has spent many years coaching writers and managers in communication groups in high tech companies in Silicon Valley and Japan. He lives with his wife Lisa and two Corgis on a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande, in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
