The first step was literally Anzai's own feet. Anzai processed the photography he had taken.

Feet of angel about to fall from Heaven. Here, Nakamura printed out the image andthen gave some strokes with brush and ink on the paper, and scanned it into her computer again.

Beautiful blue portion was turned into a washing-machine-like whirlpool. A mesh spline transformation algorythm Anzai had developed is used. A woman, an inexperienced operator,is fascinated by the whirlpool.

The whirlpool became a swimming pool.The woman lies on the lawn. The scattered numbers remained a mystery.

The numbers stirred up Anzai's imagination and invited more mysterious symbols. Later he found out that the numbers came from Nakamura's weight and blood pressure she measured at a fitness club.

Imitating a CD-ROM menu. The first three images are the results of different color corrections. The last one was Nakamura's own face.

In response to Nakamura's question, "Which do you like the best?", Anzai selected her hands.

The triangle turned into the Three Beauties. Conscious association to a theme is observed for the first time in the session.

Anzai gave colors to the three gray beauties. Light-touch lines Nakamura had drawn around the beauties were carefully left unchanged.

Now Flora appeared, Influence of "Spring" by Botticelli IS evident.

Anzai found a beautiful figure between two of the beauties. He expanded it, and gave the figure a smoother shape. Birth of Venus from an amorous parent.

Venus shattered in the brightest light. Multiple photocopy process was applied in preparing the image. The title,"the image is too large for the frame." is taken from a standard alert message from a graphic system.

Flamboyant light turned into drousy morning light. Here,the human figure acquired a face .

The gloomy woman was taken out to a meadow. This image was sent directly from Nakamura's computer to Anzai's via telephone line (PC>PC), without going througha network.

The yellow line changed into the horizon. Anzai added a woman gazing it. On eye of the woman reflects the face appeared in picture No.14.

Goldfish started swimming in the face. An eye was enlarged to cover the whole face, and then partly torn off. One can see the complicated processes behind the scene.

Like people associate stars with constellations, the artists find different views in images during the session. A path leading to the beach was found in the tank.
