No. 820 is one of my minimalist pieces, with four rough orbs in fiery hues against a near-black background with lines of smoke-gray between them. Find it here: https://jon-woodhams.pixels.com/featured/no-820-jon-woodhams.html #AYearForArt #FediGiftShop #BuyIntoArt #FallForArt #ArtistsOnMastodon #ContemporaryArt #AbstractArt #CreativeToots #Minimalism #ArtForInteriorDesign #ArtPrints

Shown framed and on a wall: Number 820. Four bright, intense, hot red splotches form the corners of a rough square shape, glowing like embers from a field or near black. Each pair of fiery splotches is shored up by a gray band of wavy, subtly undulating vertical strands across the canvas in this new minimalist-inspired abstract work from contemporary artist Jon Woodhams.

What labels these days still accept demos for (pressed) CD releases?

I have an album finished together with Kenneth Kirschner. It is contemporary ambient music with a rather experimental touch.

Recommendations welcome

I just migrated the 50 odd repos from my #selfhosted #Forgejo instance used for small and personal projects and deleted it (which ran #Gitea and even #Gogs before).

The dev-ops push has made it too big, slow and difficult to maintain for me (new versions frequently breaking things). 90% of the projects only need issue tracking, pull requests and a wiki anyway.

I'll now try a barebones ssh-hosted setup with git hooks, #GitBug and #markdown files instead. #minimalism

A few summers ago I was walking through a meadow in Dog Canyon, Texas when I spotted this tiny, colorful wildflower blooming in the tall grasses. I thought it was beautiful in its simplicity.

A couple of years ago I was following a MUJI Hut project on the constriction of mini houses.

Am I the only crazy person who loves this genre?

#House #Minimalism

A quaint, dark-colored wooden house nestled in an isolated setting near vibrant green grass and a small mountain in the background. A light from a lamp inside the house provides a cozy and intimate glow, revealing the presence of a comfortable bed inside, suggesting a serene and secluded atmosphere of peace and tranquility.

Started serial-production recently with my #plantbased milk making #habit:

Making two bottles for the week reduces the (cleaning) effort. 🙌

Also kept the receipe & procedure, just added one TL rice sirup (in lack of sugar). Now the taste is perfect. 😋

Also my waste amount got so small for #projectCarFree that it's sufficient to bike to the recycling yard every now and then. 🥳

I wrote a generative composition;
then I disassembled it into equal-sized blocks;
and then I assembled the blocks (with repetitions).
The result is a minimalistic composition that I called "Agitato"

Sustainability and Tech and Us:

In tech, we’re exceptionally bad at sustainability. While those of us who focus on #sustainability, #performance, as well as code #minimalism are already contributing to improvements, we can do more. A few thoughts.

I appear to have listened to, and watched, Einstein on the Beach in its entirety 4 times this week. (Running times differ, but each performance typically runs between 4 and 5 hours).
I've been mainly listening to the 1978 studio version and the recent live performance by the Elbphilharmonie.
I'm yet to hear the 1993 recording.

It's fair to say I might be slightly obsessed with it at the moment...

If you don't know it already, I highly recommend WTC 9/11, written for the Kronos Quartet & pre-recorded tape by Steve Reich. For me, one of the most powerful pieces of music written so far this century. In fact, just checking now, I see that it's ranked 'the 17th greatest work of art music since 2000.'

#Squarepants supports variant types (aka sum types, custom types and another dozen names...)

I'm trying to decide how to define them, and I have three different options:

The first one just uses commas:

var Maybe a =
, 'just a
, 'nothing

The second one does not use any separator, constructors start with an apostrophe anyway:

var Maybe a =
'just a
'nothing

The third uses "or", which could help making it clear that you need to pick only one:

var Maybe a =
or 'just a
or 'nothing

Squarepants priorities are #accessibility and #minimalism , I want something that works for the broadest possible range of skills and ability.
Comments much appreciated. =)

It remains consistent

Every six months or so I get the itch to add to the series I call 'figures' of very minimalist imaginary animated textbook illustrations. Here was the first 'chapter' using circles.

I'm working on chapter 3 (triangles) now.

As with several others among my artworks, this piece emerged from a waking dream. Born in the depths of the global pandemic, "So Close but Still So Far Away" is a minimalist work that I did to capture the isolation many people felt during this time.

Shown on a wall: minimalist abstract art from contemporary artists Jon Woodhams. Against a stark white background, two less-than-perfect circles emerge from a frame of black and come close but do not touch in a tense, fraught yet fearful attempt at connection, evoking the strange tension we experienced in the uncertain days following a time of social distancing.

I don't plan to be on here much. My minimalism has been morphing into essentialism in recent months. So it wasn't just deleting Facebook in 2020 and deleting Twitter more recently. It's saying no to absolutely everything that's not essential to making the most of however much time I still have left to be alive. #essentialism #minimalism #quietlife #simplicity

Second step in the #projectCarFree thingy (https://chaos.social/@gazebo_c/110693926709229461):

Create a #sustainable rhythm or #habit that enables me to get rid of the waste I so far stored in my car's trunk (driving to the recycling yard every now and then.

Aiming for '#recycling cycling' every 14d 📦📰♻️ 🚴‍♀️

First tour done today. Might even result in slowly less waste overall. 💪🥳

So, I sent my piano solo works to @radiofreefedi as a proposition for them to broadcast - if they feel so.

If you want to risk a listen, here are these three releases, all on #BandCamp.

- Jamuary 2023 (16 short tracks, 33'20)

- Aurorae Chaos (2 tracks, 15'25)

OFC if you like #Minimalism and prioritize #speed, then maybe @bunsenlabs #BunsenLabs #Linux is a better choice...

For me, #Ubuntu #LTS is the way to go since it's bsically "Install and Forget" for the support lifespan as #updates just work and all the toolz my customers/employers/colleagues could ever ask for just work on it.

#Minimalism and #tableware: Any tips for owning fewer items?

Ideas I’m considering:
– Sporks instead of separate spoons and forks
– Shallow bowls instead of plates (via @jpmartin)
– Only mugs, no glasses?
