Listening to a lot of soundtracks for films & video games lately… I just listened to the one from Severance closely & wow. There are a lot of things to really like about that production, but I had never really focussed on the soundtrack in isolation before. It’s a bloody masterclass.

Managed to get along to Patrick Duffy’s (aka ‘The Cardboard Guy’) art exhibition at Kank Wolverang records in Ballarat before it closed… and WOW! The level of detail is IMPRESSIVE! Give the man a cardboard box & he will make a masterpeice!

This is a bird that looks like a cross between a turkey, an otter, and a duck. It dives like a seal or a beaver. The tail flick! It swims underwater for long periods of time & has little bubble trails on the surface as it swims. WTF IS THIS BIRD THIS BIRD IS AUSTRALIA WHAT

Last night the security cam went off because THERE WAS A RED FOX chucking my one of my work boots into the garden. I didn’t even know we had those here, but apparently we do & apparently they have something against my blundstones. It’s not ruined, but it DID rain, so it was an excellent prank

I've now published all 30+ hours of my Venice Immersive 2025 coverage. I categorized the projects into a dozen elemental genres to help navigate it. There's 64 possible combos of all four elements, but 12 primary dyads. I unpack it all more in this LinkedIn post: www.linkedin.com/posts/kentby...

There are four elements (earth, air, fire, & water), and if you take into consideration the order / center of gravity, then there are 64 possible orientations. In looking at the dyadic orientations of two elements, then there are a dozen configurations that do a nice job of create "elemental genres" of immersive stories and immersive art. This post shows the twelve combinations, and then the associated projects underneath that.

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

@cyriak.bsky.social Hey! I really loved yr book “Horse Destroys the Universe”. I bought an eBook when it came out, but I recommended it to some folks last week & it’s out of print. Fair enough for the physical books, great job! Is there still a way for my friends to buy an eBook somehow?

I attended an art talk last week where a discussion was held about recognizing art people create online as being just as valid as work recognized by formal institutions. I implore artists working online to document EVERY project you create. Get a journalist to write about it if you can.

New Arca album ‘XXXXX’ dropped a few days ago. Perfection. So good. Anyone who tells me that the only good music being made was the music they remember from high school is just lazy & is afraid of expanding their tastes. This is brilliant.

Have been working on a video about my process of making 3D materials & have visited some very beautiful places to gather more images. While editing it’s come to my attention that my fav faux fur coat makes me look like a Babadook that’s getting way too close to random dirt/rocks/sand/mushrooms.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think that Willow (Smith) is incredibly talented. Media discourse tells me that she’s supposed to be egotistical & insufferable — but aren’t all musicians? These are complex compositions w/ plenty of earworms & solid lyrics. I’m enjoying this, actually.

Today, we came home to find a package in the centre of our driveway, looking like the large padded envelope was put through a whipper-snipper. Checked the cam. Have video evidence of a literal murder of crows sneaking up to the door, grabbing the envelope (which was medicine), & going nuts on it.

I am drunk on so much studio time. I am making textures. I am *ACTUALLY* learning blender. I have looked at some VRC worlds I always meant to look at & never had the time. I have listened to so new music. I have sculpted in VR & painted IRL. & I’m gonna do it again next week.

Returned to an old idea for a new idea. The box of drawings & paintings I’ve been riffing on this idea had some some from all the way back in 2016. It’s rare you can see the development of an idea happening accidentally, or organically, but here we have it. 130+ drawings to digitize…

Went to see Backrooms for the 2nd time at the late showing tonight. Had the whole cinema to ourselves. At the end of the film, we stepped out into the hallway to find this! The very bored legend at the ticket desk must have done that to freak us out. Mission accomplished. Made my night!

I took my wife into a Backrooms map in VRChat after taking her to see the movie a wk ago. I just need to say that she literally ran off around a corner & abandoned me within the first 2 minutes w/ no strategy. I found her much later running at every wall to check the colliders. We are doomed.

A Straighty I had just met asked me “So any special plans for Pride Month? From out my mouth slipped “It’s Pride Month every month for us.” I know she meant well, & my own reaction surprised me. But defiance has been a survival tactic, & you don’t just turn it on or off for a party, I guess.
