I find a form of active de-computing is one of the best ways to cope with the current exceeding world pain exhaustion & LLM brain drain around, i.e. doing more things offline, with your hands/body, being more present in your world, getting into crafts/materials, creating/fixing/mending things and sharing your lessons learned with others (in that sense quite in the spirit of open source culture).

To some this is may be just another form of entitled escapism, though I see it as active skill building and learning by doing, connecting with people who're still finding and creating (not just) beauty in the physical world, preserving/expanding older skills, methods & techniques, showing how to actively & creatively navigate, work with and improvise with the hard limitations imposed by chosen materials/resources, processes, situations or environments, and a form of creation which doesn't rely on exabytes of harvested data and other planet-scale resource guzzling infrastructure to realize one's ideas.

(Aside: I also think this is very much part of the appeal of "classic" [non-LLM based] generative/algorithmic design & art approaches, but also #RetroComputing and #FantasyConsoles...)

Anyhow, I think this stunning ceramics project/sculpture/vase is a great example...

Of course, my generative artist/designer/programmer mind immediately goes into deconstruction mode, imagining how I'd approach something like this in code form (e.g. via volumetric modeling) and also how to manifest it physically (3d clay printing or maybe paper craft with a cricut[1]). I don't doubt that one day soonish a robot arm will be able to perform or exceed this kind of finesse, but I also think, this kind of automation just like with LLMs, is never the point of making art with your hands, other than making a point that it's now possible to have a machine create such detailed simulacra. It's the same one way road to Uncanny Valley as chasing 3D realism in game dev, with ever more resources required for ever diminishing returns... Maybe that in itself will become a useful measure/marker and status symbol for the trillionaire class.

Building open worlds of endless unspoiled forests made of ultra high-res scans in UE5, whilst the world is burning down though climate change and war. Always be chasing the end of the road, instead of enjoying the journey, the act itself. Only valuing final results without ever appreciating (or even caring about) the process to get there. Pure consumption...

Isn't it interesting, all the thoughts a "simple" ceramics sculpture can trigger?

Tuesday is coming! \o/💃💐🎉

… when I take a break from what seems like *years* of political watchfulness, set some additional mastodon filters, & get back to enjoying the serendipity of social interaction here. Can't wait 🤗

Eventually I'll have to check in on what our politicians are doing. And some of it will find its way thru the filters. But my May priorities do NOT include activism. Just #rest, #artmaking, and work.🤞

That's hoping that #DougFordIsCorruptAF plays along 😖 #theBestLaidPlans

7cm thumbnails, based on my photos of last year's red tulips.
Thinking about composition and colour. I do love colour 🤗

This year's tulips are still just green shoots.
#collage #painting #artmaking

Current work-in-progress: background for collage - acrylic on an accordion book of brown kraft paper.
Up next: collaging some random white-ish elements, and adding scribble marks.
Working up to: deep red tulips, eventually, I think! 🤞

We'll see what happens. 🤷‍♀️

#artMaking

I took an art class this week, online, and am excited about the new dimensions it's adding to my way of art-making. This has quite a different feel to my two previous attempts to paint this (abstract, emotional) subject.

I'm celebrating the ambiguity, the depth, the move away from narrative and illustratoon \o/

Edit: The videos from the class may still be up here: https://pages.art2life.com/live/

Ooh! A free workshop from respected teacher & abstract artist Nicholas Wilton!

"This is the year everything can change. Your Art & Your Life.

It’s no accident that you landed right here, right now. … This is your invitation to overcome whatever stands in your way to making art."

➔ If you'd like to get back into art, this is a gentle way to do it! See you there!

watching DAVID LYNCH: THE ART LIFE on #CriterionChannel

I've seen it before but now it has even more significance in a way. What a special and wholly unique person and artist.

Oooh, look what I found!

Rummaging around for a blank notebook for a new project, I came upon this blank 7x9" japanese rice paper accordion book!

I got it second-hand, somewhere. It'll be easy to add the missing back cover.

Yum!
#artmaking #ricepaper #painting

I've started watching #DavidLynch on 3Masterclass. Although he's not a sophisticated "orator," I find myself loving his ideas. He keeps it simple and humble. He's practical and humble. And what he says makes a lot of sense in terms of the kinds of films he makes.

Various #ThingUmbrella and #GenArtAPI updates from this week:

- Added null pointer checks & guards in https://thi.ng/wasm-api. This also includes support for structs with fields using Zig-style optional pointers.
- Updated the https://thi.ng/wasm-api-bindgen code generator for #TypeScript to produce smaller code for structs using many string fields
- Did major ground work on #Zig #WebAssembly bindings of core https://thi.ng/genart-api functionality (see small demo below)
- Fixed/updated/simplified time provider logic
- Updated the debug time provider with its FPS analytics/visualization overlay, now computing moving min/max and moving average (default period = 200 frames) and the viz is dynamically/smoothly rescaling to current peak
- Released new GenArtAPI v0.9.0

As for the Zig/WASM example: This is only interesting from a technical POV, no visuals here! All canvas drawing and parameter declarations/evaluations are done via Zig, using the aforementioned https://thi.ng/wasm-api infrastructure to provide a new API module which can be seamlessly used with the other hybrid WASM API modules, here for DOM creation (https://thi.ng/wasm-api-dom) and to handle Canvas2D drawing (https://thi.ng/wasm-api-canvas).

At the moment, this GenArtAPI WASM module is still a fixed part of this example, but will eventually be extracted & distributed as separate package.

Demo (with param editor):
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/zig-test/

Choose one of the two GUI implementations, then make any parameter changes and you should see the new values applied immediately (btw. the demo is likely not very usable on mobile)...

Source code (TypeScript in `/src`, Zig in `/zig` directories):
https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/tree/main/examples/zig-test/

So, after trying some other stuff, I'm going to stick to videos about art techniques again today.

I figure it's the dopamine without the calories or addiction factor. Or … well … ok, but it seems a more constructive addiction?
#selfcare #rest #sadness #artmaking

More exciting updates to https://thi.ng/genart-api, an API for browser-based generative artworks:

- added two list param types (numeric & string)
- added support for composite/nested param types, esp. interesting for custom param types declared by artworks and/or platforms
- updated the first (of two) GUI param editors in the reference implementation to support composite params
- added new example showcasing custom & composite param types (oscillators)

New example w/ editor (make sure to select the "imgui" editor):
https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-custom/

Example source code:
https://github.com/thi-ng/genart-api/blob/main/examples/param-custom/src/index.ts

To explain a bit further: The example defines a custom oscillator parameter type, which itself consists of multiple sub-params to configure waveform, frequency, amplitude etc. Using the GenArtAPI messaging protocol, the external param editor (not knowing anything about the artwork or this custom param type) can still provide GUI widgets to customize the 2 oscillators used... Likewise, the artwork is completely decoupled from how those oscillator values are being computed or how they're customized via the editor...

#GenArtAPI #GenerativeArt #Art #API #Interop #OpenSource #ArtMaking #Workflow #TypeScript #JavaScript

Lots of new additions & improvements to the https://thi.ng/genart-api proposal, documentation, the reference implementation, examples and param editors this week:

https://thi.ng/genart-api

- added new (12th) parameter type: image maps (supporting grayscale or RGB)
- added new example project using an image parameter to create artwork
- added code example showing how an art platform (or artwork itself) might define & work with a custom parameter type (example: sine oscillator)
- added/updated API docs (https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/genart-api/)
- started documenting API states & transitions (diagram still WIP, forthcoming)
- initial documentation of message protocol (for communicating w/ parent window and/or external tooling)
- simplified the pluggable time provider implementations (for animation)
- updated the reference implementation platform adapter to support all built-in param types
- major update GUI param editors, now allowing users to dynamically load & customize externally hosted (compatible!) artworks, and also supporting image params, custom color chooser component...

Example editors:

- https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-test/ — either of the two editors can be used...
- https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-editors/?url=https://demo.thi.ng/genart-api/param-image/ — currently only the rdom-forms editor can be used for this and you'll need to choose an image for the other params to make sense...

(Note: The imgui-based editor is NOT mobile friendly. Also, the editor sidebar can be toggled on/off via Escape key)

As usual, everything's work-in-progress until further notice. Feedback welcome!
