I need to watch this on repeat until I can work with quaternions without shaking and sweating...

Holy shit, now THAT'S a supercapacitor! 175 F per cubic cm 142 F per gram 93% capacitance at 50,000 cycles *stability at up to 3.4 V* This may be a game-changer for a LOT of tech! (PS: bet it's possible to DIY this in a home lab with a kiln + nitrogen bath, ez) www.nature.com/articles/s41...

$FXH FTW! #fxhash #token #airdrop is live! Apparently, I'm frikken early: 376 holders when I checked, >40k wallets w tokens allocated. So, if you've -ever- collected or created on this amazing #genart platform, I believe u are ON the list. Check here: www.fxhash.xyz/token. @fxhash.bsky.social

Also, my cat...

My cat...

Claude just wrote me a lerp... in 230 lines of JS. *shudder*

Pretty sure he's playing piano in this particular dream... #catsofbluesky #catnap #cats #cutecatclub #siamesecat

The beginning of a new #sculpture. Next, I'll coalesce or clear most of these bubbles. I shot this video just to test a new "manual ptz platter" I built, but after watching it I decided it's worth a share. For perspective, the paint and dichroic glass in the center here is roughly the size of a BB.

One last shot of the #heartshaped bubble before I reshape the piece. This #sculpture is 1cm wide, made of mixed media & clear gel sealed in a snowglobe. I apply force from outside to "sculpt" the work. It's also a #stereogram. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D! #newmediaart #abstractart

When a bubble splits into a heart-shape, a photo shoot is mandatory... albeit cliche :) This piece is 1cm wide. It's acrylic & gel sealed in a snowglobe. I apply force from outside to "sculpt" the work. It's also a #stereogram. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D! #newmediaart #abstractart

Ooh @marketplace.org, that last track - *killer*! @djmarkfarina.bsky.social called, he wants his record bag back!

#MacroPhoto showing how I've changed this #sculpture since the 2 photos a few days ago. This piece is 1cm wide. It's acrylic & gel sealed in a snowglobe. I apply force from outside to "sculpt" the work. It's also a #stereogram. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D! #newmediaart #abstractart

How I strike the globe has dramatic effects. The shape & firmness of my hand, total force, the globe's orientation as a bubble is in flight, all must be considered. Before filming this, I overstruck & nearly sent paint into the wall, but twisting the globe saved the day. #newmediaart #absractart

#macroPhoto of my latest #sculpture, seen 180° from my last post. To make these works, I seal acrylic & gel in a glass snowglobe, then direct force into it by hand, moving bubbles to "sculpt" the colors. This is a #stereogram. Cross your eyes & overlap the images for 3D! #newmediaart #abstractart

#MacroPhoto of a brand-new, tiny (1cm) #sculpture of acrylic & clear gel in a glass snowglobe. After sealing the globe, I direct force into it by hand, moving bubbles to "sculpt" the colors inside. This is a #stereogram, btw. Cross your eyes & overlap the images for 3D! #newmediaart #abstractart

This just caught my eye. The tech stack is a bit new to me, but I'm definitely interested in a more data-sovereign way to collaboratively code than GitHub. anil.recoil.org/notes/disent... Anyone else tried this yet?

Brilliant! I'll have to dig in to be sure, but I think this means sveltekit/svelte can now potentially be used to create interactive works on @fxhash.bsky.social's #genart platforms!

Maybe the most "artistic-niche-relevant" article the algorithm has ever fed me: phys.org/news/2025-02...

Svelte!!! Tried it a few times, always ad-hoc, DIY "jig" kinda projects though - no planning, "just start writing"... never got off the ground. Today I decided to port an existing project to svelte after bindings became unmanageable. In 2 hrs, I took ~800 lines down to ~150! Way faster, no bugs!

OoooOoooh, shiny! My new workhorse is a Mini PC: Ryzen 9 7940HS (8c/16t @ 4-5.2ghz) w/ an integrated Radeon 780M GPU, 64GB DDR5 RAM, and 1TB nvme SSD for storage. A new 27" curved monitor at 2556x1440 next to my trusty 25" Samsung at 1920x1200. Ubuntu, of course. In software and in spirit :)

Here's a shot that shows the base of the snowglobe, lending some perspective on the size of these tiny works of #newmediaart. In a way, these sculptures are "analog #generativeart" ;) This is a 3D #stereogram, btw - cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D! Shot through a DIY #macro lens.

Ice crystals really gave this sculpture the gritty, dark vibe it needed! This one's ~2cm end-to-end. Olympus charger's boxed up after moving, so today I'm shooting on my cellphone cam... plus a DIY macro lens, of course :) This is a 3D stereogram, btw - cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D!

I put a microscope eyepiece on a UV nail-gel curing light & used it as my primary light-source for today's photo shoot. This sculpture is ~1cm across! Today's photos were shot on my cellphone through a diy macro lens. This is a crossview stereogram, btw. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D.

Freezing & thawing a sculpture leaves really cool textures in the air bubbles! This sculpture is ~1cm from end to end, by the way :) This is a 3D crossview stereogram - cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D! Photos were shot on Olympus gear through a DIY macro lens. #newmedia #abstractart

I've been busy and haven't made it onto bluesky much lately, but here's a 3D CrossView stereogram macro photo of a wild mushroom I discovered growing on a hillside last fall in the upper Midwest. I shot these two photos on Olympus gear through one of my DIY macro lenses.

@fuzzbucket88.bsky.social every time i hear the @npr.org "All things considered" theme-song, I'm reminded of this random time, years ago, (like, waay back... back when we were dating) when you told me, laughing, that the super-short 7th note of that song always sounded funny to you.

Here's a clip from the cutting room floor. At 0:15 you can see the back of my thumb as I adjust a lens that guides light into the piece. I hope this provides a sense of scale/perspective so people can truly appreciate how tiny these sculptures are... 🤯 TMYK. cheers! 😇 PS repost = silent version

@pariglas.bsky.social can you help identify who made my favorite little vase? I've spent hours digging thru 90s-era collectors' forums & makers-mark catalogs, tilting it into the light to reveal impressions or diamond-pencil marks on the bottom, all to no avail. Here's a photo. It's about 12cm tall:

Here's an image from a fun, albeit messy size project - a fractally-interdigitated laser-induced-graphene supercapacitor prototype. Wow, that's quite a mouthful! Multi-prints on 1mil kapton drive a green LED for 100-200 ms. #fractal #graphene #laserengraver #supercapacitor #experiments

@marketplaceapm.bsky.social as usual, I realized your show had come on in the other room when a brilliant track-choice caught my ear. Warms my heart (and my ears) every time I hear y'all dropping that distinctly "Marketplace on APM" style!

Two of my generative-art playable mazes sold on the secondary market yesterday, and I think I have the bluesky community to thank for it :) So, to all the generative art enthusiasts and collectors out there, thank you from the bottom of my heart! fxhash.xyz/u/puremattness #genart #interactiveart

Glass marble, acrylic in clear gel. I create these sculptures in tiny glass snowglobes. I direct force through the glass to move air bubbles, 'sculpting' colors inside. This is a cross-view stereogram btw. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for 3D. Shot on Olympus gear & DIY lens. #newmediaart

Judging by that look, I was toad-ally ruining lunch time. Photo taken on Olympus gear through a DIY macro lens. PS: this is a 3D "cross view stereogram" - cross your eyes, overlap the images to see 3D! #stereogram #crossview #toad #macrophotography #nature #photography

Here's an "analog generative art" trick I first tried over a decade ago. Originally I used a big 80s camcorder & projector. Here, I use a phonecam recording *itself* via screencast to a flatscreen. That slight tilt causes the swirling moire effects while I manually adjust levels with a TV remote.

When the weather's too nice to be inside taking photos of tiny sculptures in snowglobes, I venture out, in search of photogenic creatures like this moth. This is a "cross-view stereogram," btw. Cross your eyes, overlap the images for a 3D perspective! Shot on Olympus gear thru a DIY macro lens.

So... those accounts that are just posting copies of other people's photography, one every 5-10 minutes, with no comment and no attribution... do these accounts fall inside or outside the bounds of bluesky's terms of service?

This is a tiny 1" sculpture I created in a miniature glass snowglobe. I create these sculptures by floating acrylic paint in clear gel. I direct force through the glass to move air bubbles, 'sculpting' the color inside. Finally, I light the piece and shoot photos on Olympus gear thru a DIY lens.

Learning about Telegram app development and the TON ecosystem. Looks like a strong candidate platform for my next maze-generator app, which I originally imagined releasing as a SPA on ArWeave's "permaweb". Anyone else explored app development for Telegram/TON? Thoughts? Insights? Links?

i could be really annoying as a video essayist i think. i don't have any aspirations of doing that though so instead i'm just really annoying in text form.

Only took me 2 minutes to figure out why this account can't answer my question about the lens used for this shot: it's not their shot 😤 So, "amazing eyes", does Randy Langstraat know how many 'likes' his photography has 'earned' you? GTFOH. Engagement farming via plagiarism = lame AF as fuck.

Love that the world still finds joy in creating & solving mazes! I discovered my love for them via the video game "nethack", back when the Internet was text-only ;). I rekindled the flame in 2021, published a series of js playable mazes on the genart platform fxhash. www.fxhash.xyz/generative/1...

Super refreshing to note that 100% of my new follows are, as far as i can tell, actual human accounts! Yup, unless they're getting REALLY good at faking authenticity (I'm a hardcore skeptic & investigator), not a single bot/catfish/scammer has tried to 'befriend' me here on bluesky... Yet ;)

I really enjoyed this post by Paul Hebert on Generating Random Mazes with JavaScript, I liked how he talked through his thinking process and constraints: cloudfour.com/thinks/gener...
