I guess it's a good thing that I keep getting involved in Life and its various projects so much I sort of forget I have a Deviant site and that I really enjoy building and feeding it from time to time. A couple weeks ago I was looking at some of my legacy computers from 1980's and I was thinking of trying to get images from there onto a website and I flashed on whether or not any of that material had ever made it to the galleries here. Answer...no. Because I think of this place as a sort of 'historical record' it seems strange that there would be these 'holes' where a big chunk of spacetime and artistic work simply doesn't represent. So...yeah...going to be doing some voodoo with legacy file transfers and conversions and trying to address some of this.

For the last month or two I have been jamming about a year of learning in computer languages into a time-space about one sixth the original size. This kind of hyper-dense study is definitely psychotropic, especially with regard to subtle but pervasive changes that happen at very basic perceptual levels. I am having a hard time expressing this artistically however. Obviously there are deep architectural connections between software and the kinds of artifacts you can make with that same software...but I am looking for something that is paradoxically both more direct and more elusive. What I am trying to do is find some way of expressing the be

I have been looking at the galleries of artists working in a similar vein and most of them have 10 to 100 times as many views per deviation as I do! Wow...what does this mean? I personally look over my own gallery and am quite engaged by it, I think for two primary reasons. a) there are certain kinds of complex images that are kind of unusual in style which relax my mind because of peculiar aspects in my perceptual and cognitive makeup; b) I have specific history with each piece so the gallery acts as a kind of diary of my life in pictures. Obviously, neither of these is a particularly good reason for SOMEONE ELSE to visit the gallery! So.
