Description
oil on canvas, 100x80 cm.a...not easy to explain this one, is about the memes, and their levels.
Short about the memes:
The memes have 3 levels:
1) the organic one, the living organisms
2) the mind level, all human ideas that replicate themselves from brain to brain like a virus. A meme is the smallest atomic unit of information that is stored in the mind that can be socially transmitted and reproduced. Their evolution respect the darwininan principles of selection.
3) the technological memes that does not have his genital organs ready for the job is the artificial life, nanorobots & stuff, which spreads itself via technology -- and invents ways to keep itself alive

thanks again dear Minzile, I'm usually more active on the web, I live in the middle of nowhere, and I had just one more important expo in Netherlands...I usually sell on eBay and I never have enough paintings at once for a expo 
I passed a couples of times through Austria, never stayed for a visit, but I want to, is a very beautiful country. I had a crazy plan this year, to go to Italy by foot from Austria...so maybe in 2010

This is the most accurate and perfect description of the way of the human way and mind. Both in text and paint form.
As for the painting itself is it so accurate you could mistake it for a photomanipulation. Everything to the smallest little detail is accurate along with proportions and shades. And this is a painting, im just curious how long time it took to paint it?
