INTRODUCTION I’m often asked, “what CAN you be doing on the computer all day?” My answer is mostly evasive, because of course one knows what people are thinking, but here are some fragments of evidence presented in catalogue format. I often ‘draw’ or ‘paint’ digital pictures. But what to do with digital folders full of digital drawings? There are also so many ways of manipulating a digital image, and it is fascinating to see what a small adjustment of exposure or colour can do to a photographic image. Especially to old photographs of art works that I made in the ‘manual’ world of the 1980’s or earlier. To add an auto-biographical textual component can beautifully broaden the frame of reference of the image, and the effects can range from bucolic to cryptic, and from brash to gentle. Things usually take on a whole new meaning. The name MEMEOLA is a combination of the words MEME and NICOLAAS, and there is a MEMEOLA for every day of the year 2015. This catalogue contains No’s 1-122, in no particular order. Nicolaas Maritz Darling May 2015
