It reminds me of watching a photograph develop in the tray in the darkroom. Each of those generations are like photographs developed by stopping the development process at different times and with different developer solutions.

A few more of the same series

Details: done in ConfyUI, with a small Stable Diffusion model, manipulating the steps, the noise, scale, and cfg values. I decrease the values of noise and steps until all figurative traces disappear, then play with cfg values and minor changes to scaling noise until I get results that I like.

Great news about the age requirement! Being 52 years old, it is frustrating to see open calls for “new talent” and then realise you have to be under X age. Why?!

I am all for giving opportunities to young people, but we need to separate being young from being “new talent”

Interesting topic! I’ve signed up for the remote call bc I can’t be there that evening, sadly.

Loses for whom? Millionaire investors. Not artists. That’s not the art world. Or it shouldn’t be. It’s just another investors’ world. They would invest in bottled poo if they could resell it.

Such a good exhibition ! I el was inspired by every single one of them. Congratulations!

This is everywhere in this country. It’s basically the same problem as people thinking that nature = fields of wheat and hedgerows, because they’re nice to look at, and they are so because of our innate attraction to order, it’s my best guess. 300 years of “landscape” art is probably also to blame.

Very interesting compositions! shame that I missed this. It will teach me to check out your feed more often :).

But also, I can’t stop thinking of the cost of those sliced 8x10 colour negatives! My hand trembles just with the thought of cutting through those.

Ooh! Amazing, thank you!

I really wanted to attend this one but could not make it. At least this made me aware of Hammond’s work!
