September 9, 2026

I drew at FUSION in Albuquerque:



FLOW prompt:
"Can you break this figure down into shapes"















FLOW prompt:
"Can you break this figure down into shapes"




FLOW prompt:
"Can you break this figure down into shapes"






FLOW prompt:
"Can you break these two figures down into shapes"



FLOW prompt:
"Can you break these two figures down into shapes"







The above image was "denied"/censored when I tried to upload it to Midjourney. However it is abstract, and there is nothing offensive and wrong with the image:

"Upload denied by AI Moderator.  
Please try a different image."


UNM ART MUSEUM

The UNM ART MUSEUM's current exhibition -- ABUNDANCE: NEW ACQUISITIONS FROM 2016 TO 2026 -- features the work of TIM JAG.  I went to see it on September 11, 2026:

AI Free Form

I pushed the new edit and "combine images" approach in Midjourney 8.2 to generate the fantasies below:



This video from August 28th alludes to the new found power in Midjourney 8.2:

I put a 3D Gaussian Splat on the Looking Glass Go hologram display: 

I started with this 2D AI image


I first turned the 2D image into a 3D PLY in ComfyUI using TripoSplat, and then massaged it with the G Splat Explorer from Looking Glass:

I uploaded the PLY Gaussian Splat
and viewed/transferred it to

Isn't this all so surreal?

Note:  We revived the AI computer at Quelab -- as some stealth crypto mining programs were hogging up all the resources, and not allowing CompyUI to generate Gaussian Splats for me.  Adam took off "Nvidia mining gpu(?)" first.  And on September 9, 2026 Adric took off two instances/folders of XMRig (one installed on August 13th and the other installed on August 22nd).  Apparently they were installed in the CompyUI folder as they needed a Python script to work.  Also apparently ComfyUI can be hacked to mine crytocurrency.
