It was time to get an updated Le Bouletmaton of myself Still an excellent avatar generator all these years later zanorg.net

A quirky illustration of a fat white man with brown mid length hair in a slightly emo swoop with a brown beard, glasses, and a blue suit with a blue striped tie. He has gauged ears with brown gauges, and has a whimsically cute expression with big eyes looking upwards

After years of intentional work, I can say I'm no longer afraid of heights. This is the highest glass floor observation deck in the US. I used to be afraid of 80 ft drop on the Loch Ness Monster. The Sears Tower Skydeck is 1350 ft. I now love heights. Ask me how if you want.

View looking down through a glass floor that's 1350 ft tall, with the tops of skyscrapers visible under a pair of feet in brown loafers with black pants and the edge of a brown fur coat

Digital art collectors explaining to trad art collectors why they want an onchain record instead of a paper certificate of authenticity/bill of sale is a much lighter lift than digital artists convincing the general public to buy art AT ALL, let alone something as niche as art on chain

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

A 🧵 on how the artist went from unknown to me, to me buying their work: Newest acquisition "SELF_ALIMENTATION" @davidvnun.bsky.social Oct '24 I was drawn to the Saturn-devouring-his-son-devouring-his-son of it all, glitch aesthetics and uncanny valley level of material physics (1/7)⬇️

A big blue photorealistic bald wall-eyed ghoul mindlessly gnaws on the head of a smaller blue ghoul who is also gnawing on a tiny blue ghoul whose leg is flailing lifelessly, which glitch aesthetics appear as shards in the background

Newest acquisition to the collection "Fountain 0000036" @bardionson.bsky.social Dec 2020 Fluxus-themed collaborative GAN art collection from late 2020, with an obvious nod to Dada and Duchamp. Full details on the project and its mechanics here: fountain-art.com

An abstract photographic-style image of a toilet and tile, that is distorted in a way that makes it look like an 8. It has the aesthetic traits that identify it as early GAN art, a type of early AI art that uses a set of images to create new images, obviously based on many images of toilets.

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
