About Metagraph

The Metagraph series began in 1999 with abstract digital drawings made in Adobe Illustrator using a drawing tablet. Its name refers to the code that describes an image, rather than any one physical version of it. Gesture and automatic drawing shape compositions that can be rendered at different scales; physical prints and editions are recorded separately from the digital originals. Beginning in 2021, Goldberg developed selected drawings into animations with sound. Some also appear in augmented reality and in the Metagraphs book. AR is a feature of selected works, not the entire Metagraph series. To view an AR-enabled physical work, use the Artivive app on a mobile device. Website videos preview the animation.
