Asbjorn Lonvig

I was born in the first half of last century.
I'm a 49er. Not bad, especially not bad in San Francisco.
Not bad at all.
My grandchildren love Santa Claus. Some knows it's me, some don't.
I was born in the city of gable paintings Brande, Denmark. I even have made one myself.
In high school - it was in 1966 to 1968 - I was crazy about art. I visited the New Carlsberg Glyptotek, a museum in Copenhagen with works of Picassos, Paul Gauguin, Paul Cézanne, Heni de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Vincent van Gogh.
Amazing.
However IT became my career choice.
In 1970s I joined one of the first groups of Software Engineer Trainees educated by IBM.
IBM people from the Palo Alto Development Center went to Denmark to see how that young man in the 20s had solved a non-solvable software problem.
I became manager of a medical IT-department, I started my own Software Company.
I sold my Software Company in 1985 and became probably the first IT-millionaire in Denmark.
I became an artist 1 April 1986 at 2 p.m.
I managed to stay away from IT for some time.
In a French Art Magazine I read about the Internet's future impact on Art.
I immediately lunched a concept combining IT, the Internet and Art. ...

Education:
Autodidact

Manifesto:
It's about the fact that the art market is predicted to grow 3,5 times because of the Internet.
It's about my decision to stake everything on the internet.
It's about concentrating my efforts on the internet when it comes to sales.
It's about my decision to make new standards and challenge art traditions by making my drafts on a computer and exhibit the drafts.
And insist upon that a computer is nothing but a new tool.
And insist upon that using a computer is as worthy as not doing it!!!
Worthier????
