#abstraction
First ‘serious’ #watercolour #painting I’ve done (a few previous sketches and experiments). Based on a photo taken in #Ulverston while on holiday for past week and a bit.
“Pink House and Orange Wall”
Was aiming for more #abstraction, so, #SemiAbstract maybe.

i speak in praise of #abstraction - what lines though? for example: the total critique of capitalism and actually existing democracy that derives from #Marx and #Engels. but also #rhizome-centred thinking, which breaks the root and trees of power structures, it (re)presents into an unpredictable abstraction under which the human does not so much lose its status as the universal (sovereign) as becomes responsible...

"Red Runes"
A variant on the previous post. Many of these works exist in a variety of different versions, as I hone in on the final work. Sometimes, it's hard to choose, and several 'final' versions make it. Pieces that don't quite work are sometimes used as the starting point, or - as here - a modifying layer for something new.

PostCSS and Sass can be very powerful tools to simplify some of the complexities necessitated by systems design but more often than not, I think they get over-used. I too find myself drawn in by the possibilities of what it can do but it ends up removing me further from the resulting code. #webdev #abstraction #css

Why is working with Office documents in code such a pain?
I thought OpenXML SDK would be a treat. Streamline working with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Shared API, type-safe, etc.
Sure, it is all that, but there is little to no abstraction. It is all a wrapper around XML. You still need to understand the complete document model. No shortcuts.
In short, a resounding 0 points for developer experience.
Are there other OSS C# libs with higher level of abstraction?

「 Don't get trapped by the sunk cost fallacy. If you find yourself passing parameters and adding conditional paths through shared code, the abstraction is incorrect. It may have been right to begin with, but that day has passed. Once an abstraction is proved wrong the best strategy is to re-introduce duplication and let it show you what's right 」

Or, how having money and using it in various ways can make us think about big ideas like oneness and how we assign value to things.
The concept of money is abstract and doesn't have a personal connection, which can encourage deep thinking about the world around us.
In code, what features makes an abstraction more useful to people who were not involved in developing it? What features inhibit understanding?

Something a little different - a hint of landscape peaking through the abstraction here. One of a handful of such pieces, which make use of some of 'my' analog work as a base layer.

@LisaSBaker This is a beautiful painting, beautiful colour selection and a great composition. Freedom in #abstractart is the main reason I paint #abstraction and wrote so much about it. Thank you for sharing your #art.

the river was low enough for me to explore under the bridge today. an underrated view of the park imo. colour is everywhere if you know how to look.

Introduction: Attrition System is an abstract artist, working digitally with photographic source material. Anonymous for now. Alter ego of a representational artist working with traditional analog print techniques.

The Map Is Not The Territory - Larissa Fassler’s Sketched Psychogeographies
--
https://www.uncubemagazine.com/magazine-42-16520968.html#!/page37
--
“What can a set of lines on a map possibly tell you about that most complicated of human systems: the contemporary city? In the case of those drawn by Larissa Fassler, a huge amount. The Canadian artist’s consciously subjective work is influenced by the urban exploratory practice of psychogeography first spearheaded by the Situationists in the 1950s.
She spends days on end at a location, documenting by hand what she sees before her, from passing cars to music spilling out of open windows, notes on temperature, rainfall and shadows and even which street corners smell of urine. Her maps provide not only a body of information that evokes urban space, but also serves as an accurate representation of place… ”

So, an #Introduction.
I'm Wolfgang, a #Philosopher by training, #Facilitator by trade and late-coming social #Activist. Born and grown up in Germany, I currently live in #London where I work on #UniversalBasicIncome (#UBI) and #MovementEcology.
As a facilitator, I help people think together: build shared #MentalModels and do collective #Sensemaking.
I have been active in the #ClimateJustice movement since early 2019 and am on a political journey further left ever since.
(I'm increasingly sceptical of the left/right framing, though, and for a very #Leftist reason: It serves conservative/capitalist #CulturalHegemony by masking #Inequality and #Oppression with an illusion of moral neutrality.)
I'm a nerd about #Complexity, #ConceptualEngineering and theories of #Consciousness, think via #Notetaking and live with two fantastic #Dogs.
I value #Abstraction over analogy, #Artrock over Alternative and #AnimalRights over agribusiness.
Guess I should do an #introduction at this point :D
I'm a #trans #bisexual #VideoGame enthusiast currently based in a tiny flat full of plants in the #UK
I somehow got a degree in #Anthropology and I'm endlessly interested in people, the things we create and do as individuals as well as part of our communities.
Thanks to my #ADHD I imagine this account will be a relatively chaotic mix of hobby hopping, post boosting and a general peak into my stream of consciousness...
I'm gonna dump a bunch of hashtags below, covering all (definitely not all) the subjects I'm interested in, so you vaguely know what to expect!

This is an interesting exploration of graphical vs programmatic interfaces, also calls to mind my unpopular love for the macromedia flash authoring experience (aye what it produced was inaccessible and insecure but the combo of visual and text interaction made it a great gateway for creating with code) 🖼️

Cheap synthetic unicolour curtains backlit by bright midday sun. Parallel folds glowing golden and orange-red. #Texture, #colour and #abstraction. #abstractphotography
I keep writing the same code over and over to generate all kinds of different map generators, simulations and systems based on generated content. I started thinking about whether there are common patterns underlying all these different cases and what that might look like as a domain-specific visual language.

#introduction I'm a #DigitalCollage artist with a background in tech & editing. I bring #painting #photography #printmaking and #AnalogCollage into #Photoshop and mess around. The goal? #composition that hovers between #landscape and #abstraction. Always #BetterWithTexture.
When I'm not doing that, I like #books (TheStoryGraph!) #movies (Letterboxd), genealogy (WikiTree), and a dash of gaming.
It's time for an update of my #introduction, so here we go: Hi, I'm an #artist from Germany, exploring #colors and #abstraction in all sorts of ways. A #traditionalArt.ist by heart, after spending literal decades with monochromatic drawing, I switched to acrylic paint and have never looked back. I'm walking the line between #abstractArt and #figurativeArt and enjoy abstract #landscape and #neoPopart.
I sometimes do #urbanSketching, but #painting is what I enjoy the most!
