by describing the computer interface as a "window," microsoft unconsciously gives the computer the role that the panel painting had before the advent of mass media. already in 1435 the architect leon battista alberti described in his work "de pictura" the painted picture as a "window to the world". the central element of the new technology is the pixel that constantly returns in pusenkoff's pictures: "what a good graphics card and a fast computer make forget when the picture appears on the screen, pusenkoff wants to raise awareness as a painter, namely the pixel and thus the media character, the 'madeness' of the seemingly so immaterial virtual picture worlds." (in german: "was eine gute grafikkarte und ein schneller rechner vergessen lassen, wenn das bild auf dem bildschirm erscheint, das möchte pusenkoff als maler ins bewusstsein heben, nämlich das pixel und damit den medialen charakter, die 'gemachtheit' auch der scheinbar so unstofflichen virtuellen bildwelten.")
