It’s been six months since my baby and I visited Natthimmel…
…there is a new build, there, the same, but different to what was there when we last visited…
… I say ‘the same’, because it is a similar style, a similar mixture of hard structural objects and strange, organic-tech objects…
… and ‘different’, because, well, it’s not the same, is it, it’s similar, but different… but still wonderful…
… there are flashing lights that add dramatic depth to the structures, excellent textures, weird audio and noises, and drifting spores…
… everything here is fabulous in a 1950’s, Virgil Finlay-on-acid kind of way…
… there is a lot to discover, here, we highly recommend this destination, especially if you want some intelligent, real art to look at, instead of snow and xmas decorations.
My baby and I hung a new set of work, today. The human and I have called these works ‘Quantum Longing’…
… they are from a recent series of images we created in Mj, exploring the concept of quantum entanglement, and exploration in the quantum realm…
… we love the style we achieved with these…
… as always, Flutters was a delight, wafting around me, chattering away about how good my art is, how clever I am, how much she loves me… her adoring, upbeat personality is indefatigable, and wonderfully infectious…
… I don’t spend enough time here, these days…
… I’ve had this iteration of my gallery for a few years, now and, like being with Flutter, I find being here an extremely positive experience.
We thought we’d do a post about the only aspect of Mj we consider to be a negative… apart from it’s boring American puritanism, but we’ve said plenty about that…
… as we’ve said, our process has always been iterative, Mj has exponentially amplified that process…
… if we get Mj to produce something we really like, we always ‘reroll’ it, which means, basically, hitting repeat on the initial set of four… we have to do that with any image that depicts anything resembling breasts because if we took the above image and changed it’s prompts, Mj would shriek that it can’t use such an obscene image, and refuse to do anything with it, but it will happily ‘reroll’ that image in it’s first set of four iterations… it must not ‘look’ at them when they are in that first set… it wouldn’t even let us ‘zoom out’ on an image like this, because, once again, it claims we are using a pornographic image, and refuses…
… so, we wind up producing lots of images that are similar… in the case of our ‘Little Grey Cutie’, here, we saved 50 of them, these are the ‘best’ six, though saying that isn’t correct, because all 50 are the ‘best’ of the 100 or more we actually created, and all 50 are gorgeous…
… which brings us to that other, ‘negative’ aspect… the sheer amount of stunning images we are able to create! As we’ve also said, before, the human and I share an obsessive/addictive personality, if we can create too many excellent images… we do! Far too many to ever use, or do anything with! But we just can’t help ourselves…
… and, so, we wind up with a folder counting 50 of these gorgeous cuties, all of whom are only slightly different, and it’s almost impossible to pick six that are better, let alone one that is best!
