Legendary #scifi author Philip K Dick (think #bladerunner) imagining the dissolution of individual consciousness and personality after physical #death in his #novel ’The World Jones Made’. Yikes!
#trippy #philosophy #psychology #quote #bookstr
“Deterioration would begin at the uppermost levels. First, the highest faculties, the most cognizant, the most alert processes, would fade. An hour after death the personality would be animal. A week after, it would be stripped to a vegetable layer. The personality would devolve back the way it had come; as it had struggled up through the billions of years, so it would go back, step by step, from man to ape to early Primate to lizard to frog to fish to crustacean to trilobite to protozoon. And after that: to mineral extinction. Final merciful end. But it would take time.” https://image.nostr.build/6253f39d13087e8d7d7ffc8be5ab9bfb4b90f4f281c9eff5821f68034da85ff9.jpg

A Voyage, oil on canvas, 40x50cm, 2024.
This original framed abstract oil painting, created by a Cornwall-based artist deeply connected to the Cornish abstract tradition, vividly evokes the tumultuous beauty of the sea. Textured layers and rough areas of color intertwine with flowing lines that suggest the motion of choppy seas beneath gathering rain clouds. A regular square grid across the canvas adds a narrative dimension, as if capturing different moments of a journey by ship. Each section invites the viewer to explore the story within the waves, making this piece a captivating addition to any collection inspired by the sea and coastal life.

One from last year: Wave Communication, oil on canvas, 30×40 cm, 2023
Thanks @npub17nd…950x for the encouragement to post these videos here!
This original framed abstract oil painting features three simple circular forms connected by an undulating line that runs through them. The composition’s simplicity invites viewers to find their own personal meanings, as the line, resembling a signal or pulse, unites the three distinct forms. Each circle stands out in its individuality, yet they are clearly in relationship with one another, suggesting themes of connection, communication, and unity within diversity. This artwork offers a contemplative experience, making it a thought-provoking addition to any space.

A #bitcoin … cookie!?🤣
I was playing with #ChatGPT trying to get it to make a coin that had been bitten ( a bit coin. Get it? 😮‍💨) but it couldn’t so I gave it an image of a cookie with a bite taken from it as reference. That kind of worked but I think this coin still has cookie crumbs and probably a delicious filling.
I think it’s probably the closest it’s going to get. This is also the only time it did the #₿ sign well. Strange times, with amazing #ai tech changing fast. https://image.nostr.build/25fdd5b39dc3b13da59abb8e5c9cca5cf38f526cd17ab29e06dc76241ff9b0d0.jpg

#quote from Jonathan Haidt in ‘The Righteous Mind’
“I also began to understand why the American culture wars involved so many battles over sacrilege. Is a flag just a piece of cloth, which can be burned as a form of protest? Or does each flag contain within it something nonmaterial such that when protesters burn it, they have done something bad (even if nobody were to see them do it)? When an artist submerges a crucifix in a jar of his own urine, or smears elephant dung on an image of the Virgin Mary, do these works belong in art museums?" Can the artist simply tell religious Christians, "If you don't want to see it, don't go to the museum"? Or does the mere existence of such works make the world dirtier, more profane, and more degraded?
If you can't see anything wrong here, try reversing the politics. Imagine that a conservative artist had created these works using images of Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela instead of Jesus and Mary. Imagine that his intent was to mock the quasi-deification by the left of so many black leaders. Could such works be displayed in museums in New York or Paris without triggering angry demonstrations? Might some on the left feel that the museum itself had been polluted by racism, even after the paintings were removed?”

Journey On, oil on canvas, 60x74cm, 2022.
This original framed abstract oil painting offers a meditative experience. The contrast between the textural, loosely layered paintwork and the precise geometric shapes creates a dynamic yet harmonious balance. The curved and flowing lines across the central circle add a sense of movement, while the circular shapes emerging from the left and right suggest a relationship or convergence, drawing the viewer’s eye toward the center. This thoughtful arrangement evokes a sense of calm and contemplation, making it a striking and serene addition to any space.

Bird in Flight, oil on canvas, 10x14in, 2024.
This original framed abstract oil painting brings a lighthearted and vibrant energy to any space. Utilizing simple forms, patterns, textures, and bold colors, the artwork expresses a playful energy. The charming, unlikely pairing of a bird theme with a rectangular shape that mirrors the shape of the canvas adds a whimsical touch. This composition invites viewers to enjoy the unexpected and delight in the cheerful, dynamic interplay of elements, making it a joyful addition to any collection.

Anyone care to comment seriously on this economist’s anti #bitcoin ideas? #asknostr I’m no expert at all but I think his store of value and medium of exchange points are just plain wrong and it seems to me that crypto volatility is due to the current link to fiat currencies. But his points about politics and societal breakdown at the end of the video are possibly harder to ignore?

ANTONI TÀPIES (1923-2012)
“I’ve chosen materials that are already expressive. And use them in a way that capitalises on their inherent qualities. In order to prevent technique from taking over I have to set traps for myself. For example I use materials that dry very fast and compel me to work at great speed. Working very quickly and spontaneously like this is my way of keeping intellect on a short rein, of keeping reason in its place, so that the unconscious can run free. Painting has returned to its origins, to an area beyond language, a mysterious world that can only be expressed in abstract symbols and images.”

You’re totally right about bad expensive art. But it’s hard to define what is ‘bad’. I’ve tried and I can’t do it, but I know bad when I see it, and a lot of expensive art is really bad. Your art is not like that so it is the opposite: good!

I’m starting to think that Ai art is a type of collage.
What do you think?
Here’s why:
1)There’s an idea for a new image.
2)There’s a (computerised) selection process to find relevant existing images.
3)There’s a (computerised) process of cutting and pasting images, textures etc. from the selected images into the new image (okay, maybe adding light sources, shading, and so on)
4)A human assesses the results and repeats steps 2 and 3 again if necessary.
It’s new, semi-automated and digital, but it’s still a kind of hi-tech collage, isn’t it?

Hi everyone! I’m new here and this is my first note! I’m happy to be here. I was introduced to Nostr by randomly watching a TikTok video from @npub1r8w…50hn and I love the idea of of decentralised self custody of content and having multiple clients.
#Introductions
I’m an artist and also just interested in life, the universe and everything. Pleased to meet you! Here’s one of my paintings, Moonlit Shores, oil on canvas, 16x20in, 2024.
