Help I’ve been turned into a doll!
I needed a break to get out of art block and this trend was the perfect distraction. I’ve loved seeing everyone’s takes on this trend, they’re all so different and lovely. AI will never make something half as original.

My favorite tool, though sadly it mostly captures dust these days.
The last local place I could get color film exposed and printed closed last year, and I just don't have room for my own lab.
Similar to my #LinearMemory piece from last year (check the hashtag for references), these current #Actiniaria explorations make me fully appreciate all the research, efforts and supporting hardware behind the DCI-P3 & Rec.2020 color spaces. The intensity (and subtlety) of some colors & combinations are just stunning (to me), and I don't mean this in any ableist way (just enjoying whilst I still can!)...
Also still amazed that something like this runs at a smooth 60fps @ 2160x2160 UHD resolution on a mobile device with a just Snapdragon 2 chipset... As part of my advisory role @ day job, over the past few months I've been tasked with optimizing artworks for almost a dozen generative/algorithmic artists, often achieving 2-4x framerate improvements... Very much feeling a longer blog post re: code craft vs code art coming up, hoping to connect them more...

Carole Cadwalladr is an always-relevant observer of the relationships between tech, politics, and media. She was put under incredible pressure by those whose dark activities she exposed, and she stood her ground. A woman of impeccable moral and professional standing.
Cadwalladr is our Cassandra. We must listen to her.
When the trust owning The Guardian daily newspaper sold off The Observer (the Sunday paper), Cadwalladr was one of the many fine journalists who got axed. This is her last piece for the (old) Observer.
Like everything she writes, it is essential reading. Uncomfortable and important reading.
