Thank you for visiting Entropy Gallery in Santa Fe.

There are two groupings of art on this site: ART & SCIENCE which includes photos from the book and award winning art documentary film Fleeting Structure and MUSICAL SURREALISM which includes photoshop digital compositing driven by my photos and paintings. During the pandemic I published a book of photographs and wrote, directed and performed the original soundtrack for Fleeting Structure that features ten art categories illustrating fluid flow and crystal growth throughout nature in both the living and nonliving worlds. Examples of these fractals may be seen in CRYSTALS.

 

In the 30th annual DRUK International film festival in the Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan on the eastern edge of the Himalayas, Fleeting Structure won the outstanding achievement award, best debut filmmaker, and critic’s choice for experimental filmmaker. At the DRUK five year retrospective in 2025, I was named Master of Storytelling . A more scientific 44 minute SciArt Santa Fe LASER presentation may be found in FILMS. 

​

I'm currently experimenting with an image generating algorithm that is evolving as an amazing extension of my imagination! These images, rendered with strong influence of mood boards comprised of my photos and paintings, may be seen in MUSICAL SURREALISM. They all include musical components.

​

I greatly enjoy experimenting with SHORTS of surreal moving images where I also produce the accompanying music soundtrack. These are lots of fun and I hope you enjoy how crazy they are!

In addition to a career spent as a nano-electronic materials researcher in the semiconductor industry fully engaged in the surreal world of quantum mechanics, I taught physics at the University of New Mexico and acoustics at the College of Santa Fe while serving on funding panels for the New Mexico Arts Division for categories of Music, Artist-in-Residence and Interdisciplinary Projects.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the site. - Patrick Lysaght
