Chris Ofili’s print *Regal* mixes old and new tech. The piece started as watercolor over etched lines, then got scanned and printed digitally. That scan made photo plates for two extra steps: a glowing background by screenprint, and the watercolor parts by lithography. The trick here is the phosphorescent ink. It only shows up after dark, so the print changes completely once the lights go out. Look up the artist Chris Ofili next.
