RE: Entering the Matrix // Gallery of 10 New Digital Artworks
I remember when I drew line halftone and grids like these in the hand to make it look modern. Now, with all the tools available, I can only see it as complete waste of time :) "Be smart," and the last three ones are rather funky.
Thanks :-) Maybe it's a waste of time, but I'm somehow very much attracted by these kind of works, that for example the Danish artist Carl Krull does. He also seems to be at Copenhagen Creatives exhibition and meeting and has a fine Instagram.
Yes, it has a strange charm when others do it :) I have a friend who loves making this kind of work and he has been taught how to engrave stamps and money bills. But my brain needs to get on with all the ideas I have, so often I just jump into the fray. I do plan as you know, but my temperament is always struggling with it.
Knowing how to engrave money bills might come in handy at some point ;-) I had the idea of letting some of these artworks print on canvas and then trace the lines with a touch-up pen. As I'm interested in the intersection of analog and digital, this might (or might not) work out.
I recently ordered a Blockchain Art Certificate starter kit, which enables you to register physical artworks with a blockchain and I'm already starting to think about the art, I will use this for. While I usually also just "jump into the fray" when I do art, this kind of "concept art" might be a new experience for me.
I am not sure it will come in handy anymore, hacking crypto-coin seems a better business!
Sounds interesting with the canvas project. I had some friends who did this, painted on top of printed bitmaps they had made in photoshop. Ulrik Crone is one of the best:
As for your starter kit, I used to put up my things on the Alexandria project - haven't looked into it for a while.
At least you'd be able to design some nifty paper-wallets...
Thanks for sharing the work of Ulrik Crone. I like the boy with the vacuum cleaner in the shopping cart a lot.
I've heard of the Alexandria project, but I didn't try it myself yet. I'm looking forward to checking it out as well as the physical blockchain certificates by the blockchainartcollective. At least I'm not running out of interesting stuff to post about ;-)
I guess we will both have to close down our brains to reach that point, I only regret that I am not making so much freak art now that I am trying to make Phill a weekly occurrence...
Wheee! You‘re kidding, I just saw that you made some fine freaky art at dada ;-) If for any reason Phill holds you back from doing what you love, you should definitely give him a break. Weekly pages are certainly cool, but bi-weekly pages are just as good.
I actually enjoy making Phill, it is all the other stuff, the routines that are supposed to make it possible, that takes away some of my precious time and mental capacity. All the swimming in the morning etc.
I suppose it is just whining and I guess I compares it to the same time last year when I was ill and miserable. At that time there was only work, it was the only thing that kept me together, so even though the doctor said I had to tone it down and relax, I couldn't take her advice. It was the only place where I could stay sane. So I worked disproportionately much, while my poor wife took care of all the things I normally do.
Now I am back to normal, I have the strength to do things I couldn't back then, but at the same time my ambitions and ideas grow too fast. I am back to my old annoying self :)
