" In the future world, one will be able to take a miraculous journey into a painting. Special high-tech computerized equipment will create a holographic space for our intelectual enjoyment. Through this program- a sound, color and light show - people will satisfy their need of painting in the future. The painter will become "a magician." But what else is painting other than magic? With several colors and a brush, a painter can create a world of forms, ideas and feelings, and you are invited to explore or travel in the artist's world of thoughts. Above this holographic space, an artificial brain will gather the thoughts and emotions of visitors through sensors and will be able to change the composition of the painting on request. The painting will live by itself like in a sort of dream room. In the future, people will evolve through knowledge and will get closer to God..." Rodica Alecsandra Miller. " Adventure in Immortality" screenplay for computer animation film, experience in art and technology, 1995.
