My first 3D disc. 
A few days ago I finished creating a very a remarkable product: a 3D BluRay disc filled with amazing stereoscopic content.

3D content is still relatively limited, there is not enough variety in 3D content on the market that is able to showcase and deliver the true potential of 3D TV's. The 3D quality of my content is far superior to anything currently existing on the market today, and I am confident that it isn't like anything you've ever seen before. The first disc is currently completed with the second one is on its way.

It is a cover:

Dynamic Painting FAQ 
1. How do dynamic paintings differ from 3D cartoon films and computer games?

Computer games and 3D films have a finite duration, they have an end. After the action is finished they stop or repeat again. Technically, during the creation of 3D content the work of the artist (the 3-D specialist or animator) most closely resembles that of a sculptor. The artist creates three-dimensional models of objects which are then seen from different angles and in different positions.
Dynamic painting on the other hand consists of infinite, never-repeating video sequences generated in real time instead of being produced in advance. The basic advantage of dynamic painting consists of the unpredictability of the image. The spectator can always see something new that has never been displayed before. 3D films or computer games do not have that advantage because all of their visual factors are programmed in advance.

2. Is it possible to call a dynamic painting a `screensaver’?

Yes it is possible. But it will be quite an expensive screensaver.

3. Could a dynamic painting be considered the creation of an artificial intellect because of the fact that it is not drawn nor morphed by the artist but more by the computer?

This is not true. If adhering to this logic, singing is the only true type of music and everything that the musician makes using technical devices (all acoustic instruments including electronic ones) can be considered a non-human mechanically composed sound. But for some reason nobody thinks that the electronic synthesizer itself composes music. The role of a computer in dynamic painting is no greater than the role of a synthesizer in music. It is just a device that a person is using to create something.
4. A piece of art is considered to be a material object like a canvas with paint, or a sculpture, etc... Dynamic painting is a piece of soft ware running on a computer and tv set. How is it possible to call DP a work of art if you can copy the program and then purchase a computer with a tv in any shop? What would be an original piece and what would be a copy?

In the same way it is possible to say that music is not a work of art because it does not exist in a material context. What is the original of a piece of music? Is it the notes written by the composer on paper, or the same notes published and recorded then played again and again with various improvisations? Digital recordings of music can be duplicated without loss of quality but nobody doubts that music is art.
A work of art it something created by a person in the time of great influence by their emotional condition. It is not important by what mean that influence is transferred. Music uses the acoustical channel, painting – the visual.

Originals and copies are a creation of the business world of art. For the businessman the importance of the “originality” of paint smeared on a canvas is enough to warrant a price of 20 million dollars while precisely the same canvas but without the certificate of authenticity would cost only 20 dollars. At the end the viewer does not look at the certificate but at the picture itself and if its emotional and aesthetic qualities are precisely the same, what difference does it make whether it is original or just a copy?

Dynamic picture can truly be copied without loss of quality. There are no distinguishing differences between a copy and an original as this is impossible in the computer world. Perhaps this should be considered a benefit rather than a disadvantage of this kind of art.

5. The same dynamic picture can produce thousand of "screenshots" without any efforts from the artist. Does this bring down the status quo and creativity of traditional artists?

Before the development of photography artists spent many patient hours struggling to copy and perfect still images. In the 19th century a mechanical device was created which did the same thing. In what measure did the occurrence of a photo discredit painters? There certainly were some problems with this, but now photography has become an independent type of art and there are no conflicts between the two.
At any moment the dynamic picture can be stopped and transformed into a static one. It is then possible to print the image on canvas with very high resolution. This print will be unique as precisely the same image will never be repeated in the original dynamic picture. This process is very similar to photography where it is necessary to find (and wait for) an interesting moment which you then capture. It does not demand a lot of effort but patience and good taste are required.
It is necessary to understand that the dynamic picture does not create at all times absolutely different images; it is only a variation of the SAME picture. Therefore all static images will be variations of the same plot. They can strongly differ in details but the general plot, the composition and the aesthetics will be constant and the same.

6. Do dynamic paintings remind us of children’s toys such as the “kaleidoscope”?

It does remind us of it. The kaleidoscope allows us to create a million combinations of images by means of the elementary system of three mirrors and several splinters of color glass. It is ingenious that a kaleidoscope is able to create symmetric patterns from a finite set of colors. The dynamic picture reminds us of a kaleidoscope because it also generates millions of variations of images but with this their similarity comes to an end.

7. Where can dynamic pictures be used?

Like any traditional painting, a dynamic painting can be used as interior decoration. A dynamic picture on a wall favourably differs from a static one because it is always new and different. Instead of the same picture you have an infinite quantity of variations. At the same time, any specific image on the dynamic painting display can be made static until the transformation is told to start once again. In a dynamic picture clouds float and trees move. It is really a live representation.
Aside from home decoration these pictures can also be used in waiting areas such as a doctor’s reception room or a hotel lobby to help pass the time.
The dynamic picture is an excellent tool for relaxation and meditation. The images vary slowly allowing a viewer to enter a stress-free state or a type of “trance”. It is reminiscent of watching clouds in motion. The changing images put the imagination to work helping the viewer to relax and rest.

Here is an example of a dynamic picture that is exceptionally traditional:
