I made 314 blog posts this year,, it was hard just keeping up with 2024:
Towards the end of the year I was going to a figure drawing sessions 5 nights a week:
We created a collaborative print project -- EXQUISITE TESSELLATION Prints:
(we piece individual aperiodic "hat" tiles to make bigger prints)
I continued my love/hate relationship with FAKE ART -- by "filling the Internet with more Low Effort Nothings" with AI generated ART, as one YouTube commentor asserted. I even seconded his observation with an AI song:

Patron Saint of Moving Lines
A moment to praise SAINT BERT -- whom I discovered/generated in July using WEBSIM:
"Saint Bert, born in the early days of the digital age, was renowned for his ability to find harmony and meaning in the chaotic streams of data that flowed through the nascent internet. Legend has it that Bert could visualize the movement of information as intricate patterns of lines, leading him to become a guide for early web developers and digital artists.
It is said that Bert's meditations on the nature of digital motion led to breakthroughs in animation techniques and data visualization. His teachings emphasized the importance of flow, continuity, and the interconnectedness of all digital entities."
"My work explores the relationship between Pre-raphaelite tenets and counter-terrorism. With influences as diverse as Nietzsche and Andy Warhol, new insights are manufactured from both orderly and random narratives.
Ever since I was a postgraduate I have been fascinated by the traditional understanding of meaning. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes manipulated into a hegemony of distress, leaving only a sense of what could have been and the possibility of a new understanding.
As intermittent phenomena become reconfigured through frantic and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a testament to the outposts of our culture."
