Today’s Favourite Collage
Everyday I take random images from my RSS reader, and composite them with random options fed into ImageMagick. Which I’ve mentioned before. WordPress really doesn’t have a way interlinking posts does it? Anyway. Just looking at the blocks of things you can do w/ WordPress, oh look a verse block. I did start writing a…

Some cats I’d like to buy
Searching for collage on OpenSea this morning, I found: https://opensea.io/assets/matic/0x2953399124f0cbb46d2cbacd8a89cf0599974963/47381297343834251554447485538334712152815840020733518414048122919960551882753/ The first time I tried to buy it the gas cost was around $60. I waited a few minutes and then it went up again. I guess I’ll come back later. (Update: I did eventually buy them, and set them as “featured image” here.) This…

Express yourself
This is a concept that is easier said than done. Although it certainly brings this song to mind. You have to choose your art form. Mine happens to look something like this today. A collage which was generated for, but not included in the daily cutup. One of 400 collages I generated today. Why? Why…

Incremental Improvements
Eventually the daily cutups at coalesce.me will be completely automated. But today we are not quite there yet. While a series of scripts create the cutups and collages, choosing and inserting the collage into the post each day remains a manual task. I don’t really know how to automate that part yet, but I have…

Painting with Brain Waves
The City Gallery exhibit called The Algorithmic Impulse closed about a week ago which meant it was time for me to go and pick up my artwork that I had created as part of it. Back in January I went to the City Gallery and donned an EEG headset and sat at a desk writing…

Eva & Franco Mattes
Some inspiration. I spent a day walking around MUDAM in early 2019. So that also brings back some pleasant memories. I picked up in my RSS reader from their blog: The MUDAM exhibition is also interesting: https://mefamily.mudam.com/about

Art over time
I mean, I really don’t know what I am doing. You try to develop a theory, or make some kind of sense out of reality, but then at some point you just have to do something. That something for me is taking the materials of the Internet and combining them in different ways and observing…

User Story
Even though I am the creator of Coalesce.me, I am also it’s number one user. The process is currently an automated job runs at 6:30 am in the morning about 30 minutes before I typically wake up and takes the last 100 stories from my RSS readers, folds and rearranges lines of text and creates…

Yī píng xī lā zǐ
I have been making a lot of collages lately and am indeed publishing a whole other blog full of them on a daily basis: https://coalesce.me Today there is some overflow like this one: What I would say if I was not afraid of reprisals to from China. Dear China, Yes we want your money. But…

Buckley on Mcluhan
I found this interesting, listening to a debate from 1967 between William F. Buckley and Timothy Leary. It surprises me on one hand how I think Leary is a bit far out, but then on the other hand being far out is good. I am not sure why he clung to comparing the psychedelic experience…
Who are you? What are you doing here? Did I use your image file? Did you use one of mine?
