Title: Boeddha-Kunst.nl – Early Digital Expressions of Buddhist Art (2003–2008) Artist: Martine Jacobs Format: Website screenshots (archived via Wayback Machine) Language: Dutch (translated to English) Theme: Buddhist symbolism, hybrid media, early digital curatorship Description: This collection of website screenshots documents the pioneering online presence of Dutch artist Martine Jacobs, captured from her former websites Boeddha-Kunst.nl and Boeddhistische-Kunst.nl between 2003 and 2008. The pages showcase pastel, watercolor, and digital artworks centered on Buddha figures, interwoven with poetic reflections, philosophical quotes, and spiritual commentary. Notably, these pages represent one of the earliest recorded uses of the term “New Media” in the context of Buddhist art and spiritual symbolism — a visionary fusion of tradition and technology. 🖼️ Translated Highlights from the Screenshots: 1. “After Scream” (2003) “After Scream – pastel on canvas, 100 x 160 cm” A serene Buddha figure is juxtaposed with Edvard Munch’s The Scream , blending Western expressionism with Eastern calm. 2. “Sea Buddha” (Zee Boeddha) “Pastel on paper, 56 x 76 cm – €890” “Pastel available – More information? Ask Martine” An early example of direct online art presentation and sale. 3. “Two Buddhas” (2006) “Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love.” — Buddha Two mirrored Buddha faces in vibrant tones, paired with a timeless quote. 4. “Boeddha’s Watercolors” (2008) A gallery page featuring symbolic portraits and abstract spiritual scenes. Some images are missing, reinforcing the archival importance of these captures. 5. “Boeddha’s New Media” (2006) “Paper size: 29 x 21 cm on 185g 100% acid-free paper.” Digital artworks printed on archival paper, featuring stylized Buddha faces and abstract motifs. The page includes a computer chip icon — symbolizing the fusion of spiritual iconography with digital technology. 6. “2 Bleu Boeddhas” (2006) Two Buddha statues rendered in deep blue and turquoise tones, set against a mosaic-like digital background of tree branches and light. 7. “3 Boeddhas” (2005) Three stylized Buddha faces in a contemplative composition, surrounded by abstract textures and spiritual atmosphere. 8. “4 Boeddhas” – DigitalDelooz Four Buddha heads arranged in a grid, glowing against a psychedelic mosaic of geometric patterns — a modern interpretation of spiritual repetition. 9. “The 7 Good Works” (2006) “De 7 goede werken” A richly colored Buddha statue holding a symbolic object, set against a vibrant green and red background. The title references the Buddhist concept of virtuous action.
