Finally working on my homepage. Going to make it a detailed gallery of my art. Context and commentary provided.

Claude is helping me in the role of archivist, and its behaviour may or may not be getting a little weird the more it understands from the codebase as we go

Seeing some of the lists I get added too never fails to make me laugh. This one was "unethical generative AI"... not sure what I've done to cross that line but okay.

Earlier I got put on an anti-furry list, for blocking furries... I'm not a furry nor even affiliated...

Entertaining at least lol

In this photo, a Redditor confirms that anyone who has ever used a stock photo as part of their art or as a reference is in fact not an artist.

Just published the final version! It's interactive and pretty fun to explore if I say so myself, check it out :)

some major progress on my next #genart piece, this one will be another interactive exploration piece like the Ideocartography series

for now I'm titling it "Catalogue of Fragile Things", under the hood it's one of the weirdest algos I've made

oh and for some reason, somehow, they all loop forever

Yes haha I cannot fool you. There is some focus and image stabilization shit going on but otherwise not a panoramic photo. This is how that turned out with the same source (could be better but I lack the physical skill)

Taking a page out of @celadoor.bsky.social's playbook and messing around a bit with generative photography

Mine is not split but it is a bit "weird". I use a Planck, it's ortholinear and tiny, so I use macro layers to get access to the all characters. I push the firmware to it with my customized layout, so it works on any device.

When on homerow keys, you only ever need to move one finger one space.

finally the triptych ends with Equilibrium: teia.art/objkt/861409

This final piece represents a middle ground between the two previous, incorporating ideas and methods from both, while creating a result that stands out from both of them.

next in the sequence is Corrupted Growth: teia.art/objkt/861407

For each of these pieces, you can press "Z" on the keyboard and open the debug menu. From the menu you can save exportable looping gifs, and edit the settings to tweak the loop as you like.

GM everyone :)

I present my contribution to #art4artists 2024, a triptych of pico-8 pieces titled:

1. seed_of_order.p8
2. corrupted_growth.p8
3. equilibrium.p8

I'll start this thread with #1, Seed of Order: teia.art/objkt/861406

Each runs live, looping, and interactive.

should finish my #WIP for #art4artists today!

Probably they're using some block list for NFT folks or something. There's still an active hate train on NFTs, though it's less trendy now. I'm also pre-blocked

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #25,724 apparently lol

I was still too late to get the username "Andrew"

Doug Ford but it's Attack on Titan and he's eating people in the Greenbelt and saying "oh geez that just went right down the hatch"

The "moss" forest. Seedpods, moss, void, trash, and fire (light blue) on display.

Naturally this piece is kinda about/inspired by the wildfires.

My goal is to have sweeping waves of flame cleansing the screen at an equilibrium with new growth.

Oh we're so back baby

Just added spores to this. This is a departure for me for sure. I'm still not even sure it'll turn out visually interesting, which is devastating, but it's only v1.

It's a cellular automata but also a primitive life sim, only I'm restricting myself (continued in reply)

Not sure what's stronger: excitement to return home or dread of the long flight lol

Finally I've beaten one of these things
