What others have said:

" Electronic media merge in this solo exhibition of works by new-media artist Mark Sedgwick. An artist, and designer, Mark engages electronic devices-computers, video games, Mobile devices, Interactive TV and Other Mediums in the presentation of his Ikonik Artworks. The resulting works expand the limitations of language and the traditional context of art, proposing a bold new role for the artist in our culture." Michael Williamson..MOWA [ Museum of Web Art ]

" The story of how an artist received a vision that insipired him to dedicate his life to bringing into existence, a new kind of venue (nowikonik.com). Where edutainment is created and shared, where interactive theater can help heal hearts, and open minds by tapping into and unleashing a creative force on planet Earth through Outer Dimensional art, video clips, games, music & the NOW.
