Good morning! I’m taking a screen printing class. Behold my first prints ever. 🙂

I haven’t posted in a while. I have been working on taking those CA disks in a different direction. There’s still a very long way to go, but here’s a recent #WIP. Now using #threejs & #glsl. #generativeart #genartclub #codeart

Opposing directions. Does it make you 😵‍💫? #genartclub #generativeart #codeart #noai

Good morning, friends. Have a creative day. #genartclub #codeart #noai

Ga, code art lovers. Work in progress. #genartclub #noai #codeart

Ugh. I’m not seeing much generative art in my feed, so I searched for the hashtag and all I got back was AI and most of it was really, really bad. Where are my artist coders at?

Hey friends. Is video uploading broken on Bluesky? I keep trying and it doesn’t even look as if it makes any attempt. Just hangs. Am I doing it wrong? These are originally screen recordings from a Mac and I’m trying to upload from my iPhone. My network is fine AFAIK since everything else works.

Good evening, friends. Now with colour! #genartclub

Good morning! Happy “almost Friday”. #genartclub #generativeart

Good afternoon, genart lovers. It’s too gloomy for the shopping so I went back to hacking instead. #genartclub #generativeart

Good morning, genart lovers. It’s been a while. Have a great Wednesday! #generativeart

Bluesky still doesn’t do animated GIFs. 😢 These pieces move, though you can’t tell from here. See the full collection in all its glory here: www.fxhash.xyz/project/inne...

I don’t have any work of my own to post, but Inner Forms by Ty Vek is amazing. This is 4 generations of an open form “lineage”. The artist really nailed this concept. Evolve your own on @fxhash.bsky.social

Just goofing. Trying to get a grip on what the vector curl operator means. White is higher curl & red is lower. #genartclub

That’s a wrap! Color Function is now closed. I’m immensely grateful to the 95 people who collected. It means the world to me at the start of what I hope to be a long, wonderful & fruitful journey. Here’s #23603 minted by Rodrigo Plant

I’m so gratified that “Color Function” has 80 collectors and counting. This is #8113 minted by @teaboswell.bsky.social On a desktop screen, this one is lovely. Minting until June 9. Link in my pinned.

Thanks so much to all who have minted Color Function! You really made me happy. Here is #216 minted by Pawel Dudko. Minting is open until June 9. Link in my pinned post. #generativeart

My #fxhash genesis "Color Function" will open for minting tomorrow, June 3, at 13:00 EST. It's a free OE on Base and will be open until June 9th. You can try out the generator here. www.fxhash.xyz/project/colo... Best viewed at a reasonable size. #generativeart

Happy #Caturday!

Also, just to be clear, when artists do use AI, it’s highly unlikely that all that’s involved is “a prompt”. Neither generative art nor AI art should be trivialized this way.

It’s quite depressing how many people believe “generative art” or “creative coding” or “algorithmic art” means “AI”. An artist can spend a year or more perfecting an algorithm & bashing out GPU shaders just to have someone ask them what “prompt” they used. Sigh. 😔

Gm, happy Monday morning! rodeo.club/post/0x91cE1...

Here are some more. I decided to give the algo its freedom and make a free OE instead. Coming soon. #generativeart

Gm genart lovers. Here’s a sample from an upcoming free OE on #fxhash. Made with code by a human. #genartclub #generativeart

Less minimalistic. Yes? No? #genartclub #generativeart #codeart

A slight variation. Can you see it? (Zoom in.)

Making art keeps me focused on positive things in these crazy, scary times. I hope you like these minimalist abstracts as much as I do. #genartclub #generativeart #codeart

Update: a journalist (didn’t catch who) asked Carney about it outside Rideau Hall today so I expect it will get covered widely. CPC can’t be happy about it.

I allowed myself to be provoked by some horrible people on X today. I shouldn’t have, but the U.S. war on Canada just made me so angry & anxious, I guess it affected my judgment. The people on here seem so much less awful than the other place. It’s informative without the rage-baiting. So far.

I’m going to finalize the possible compositions and release this collection somewhere. Tedious, but ultimately satisfying. I just heard the term “Liminal Abstraction” and I think it fits well. I was thinking of these as images that have yet to emerge from the viewer’s mind.

What would be beautiful would be Ukraine (with the help of its allies) kicking Russia’s butt so hard they have to retreat and sue for peace. Because then how will Trump feel about his “strongman” idol? Beaten by a much smaller country. I’d love to see it.

What I took from what happened yesterday is that an electricity surcharge was completely justified. Ford caved, and that’s exactly what Lutnick and Trump said. Ford caved because of a Trump tweet. He just made us look weak. There’s no point in another meeting next week.

I’m swearing at GitHub Copilot right now for not being able to write what seemed like a simple enough function despite half a dozen tries using 2 different models. I don’t believe people who say they can “vibe code” whole products. It’s absurd.

Don’t ignore the threats from within.

To my artist friends and followers I apologize for the political posts. I didn’t make an alt account & don’t have the energy to undo that mistake now. My country is the target of illegal US aggression & I can’t stay silent. Please bear with me. 🙏

Also in this story: 1 in 5 Conservatives want Canada to join the U.S. It rises to 1 in 3 if the Liberals win a majority. Overall 90% of Canadians oppose the idea. What does that say about Conservatives?

WATCH: The gloves are off! It’s been an under-reported scandal for quite a while that Pierre Poilievre refuses to apply for security clearance. It was a scandal EVEN BEFORE the most recent efforts to undermine Canada’s democracy, sovereignty and economy from Trump, Musk and the GOP. Share this.

After spending hours tweaking palettes and staring at tiny differences, I can’t tell whether I’m making it better or worse! 😅 #genartclub #generativeart

Is it just me or is X b0rked right now?

A practical technique for generative colour. Highly recommended. #genartclub #generativeart

If you’re an artist or art lover and you aren’t following @yoshisodeoka.bsky.social, you should be! They seem new here. Give them a Bluesky welcome.

I like these better. Bigger difference in sizes between dots in each cell. The question remains, though: big dots or little dots? #genartclub

What do you say? Big dots or little dots? #genartclub

Random composition, more tweaking of colour. Not sure which way to go next so it’s time to do some errands. #genartclub

Gm, friends. I recently collected these two pieces on Rodeo. I love it when I see something and think “damn, I wish I could make something like that!” They’re a little “collage” and a little “glitch” and I love them. Cipher and Debris by Vishi. #generativeart #creativecoding

Still a WIP. Needs work on composition and a bit more work on colour. At least I got something done besides doomscrolling. #genartclub

Photo of the Day. Allies.

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

So the answer is (I took a chance and it worked) is to *intentionally fail the liveness test*. It took me a while to manage it (let it see your face then start pointing the camera in random directions until it gives up). Then it will let you switch to in-person. Honest to God who wrote this junk?

I tried official channels but no help is force so I have to ask here: does anyone know how to access the “in person” validation option for validating LPC membership in order to vote for leader? I don’t have a driver’s license so I am stuck. Does anyone know what to do? #LPC #LiberalLeadership
