Black and white photography of a facade of a block of flats. in front of the windows is a geometrically patterned (almost meandering) decoration made of horizontal and vertical concrete struts.  this decoration also seems to be functional because it provides shade.  in this way, the house facade appears very lively.

Black and white photography: female self-portrait in front of a black background, motion-blurred by intentional movement during the long exposure time.  the unclothed, bright female silhouette is multiplied by the movements around herself, her arms move around her head and upper body, she is in the picture at the same time from the front, side and rear view, everything merging into one another.  parts of her body seem like veils, the body seems unbounded, merging with the background.  the facial features are very faintly discernible in the center of the image. although she is undressed, she does not appear naked but rather velvety and soft, ghost-like.

DEFIANCE!" oil on canvas, 50x50cm

This portrait represents the strength, urgency, and heartache of the climate justice movement. A young activist stands steadfast amidst a world on the brink. Her face radiates defiance, her dignity undiminished as she fights for a future that seems to be slipping away.

The vibrant oranges in the background, laced with haunting hints of red and blue, evoke a world on fire, reflecting the climate crisis we face. The figures and crumbling buildings at the bottom of the painting whisper a stark warning - we must act now, or face the consequences.

Just like Vermeer's 'Girl with a Pearl Earring', she wears a blue scarf - a symbol of hope in a seemingly hopeless situation. She is a beacon of resilience in the face of adversity, a symbol of the global south bearing the brunt of a crisis they did little to cause.

This is a call to action, a wake-up call to the world. We must defy apathy, defy dismissal, defy destruction. Together, we can turn the tide.

reflections of the forgotten III, portrait, series faces of humanity, ethiopia.

#visualArt #photography #portraitPhotography #BlackAndWhite

black and white portrait photograph of a girl crouching on the ground in the center of the image, her body covered with a blanket-like cloak.  in the background, much brighter and more blurred, other people who are standing, some of them only incompletely in the picture.  the photo is very rich in contrast, the central person is shown darker than the rest. by blending several photos of the girl into one another, a kind of unclearly defined silhouette is created, as if several "intermediate states" of the girl were floating above the ground.  in addition, her very expressive facial features can be found in the faces of the other people in the picture, in fusion with the original faces.  Because of this, the picture is extremely unsettling, eerie: the faces look at the viewer in an almost accusatory way, like a kind of memento mori — to commemorate people who have been wiped out?

gagner sa vie, portrait from the faces of humanity series, la habana, cuba
#photography #BlackAndWhite
#visualArt #noirEtBlanc #streetPhotography #cuba #facesOfHumanity

black and white photograph in a street in la habana: a young man and an old woman are sitting on the steps of a house entrance.  they sx in the right direction of the camera and look a bit skeptical (the man) and very tired (the woman).  the woman has a hair ornament made of a red artificial flower in her hair and is holding a large cuban cigar in her hand.  She's apparently taking a break from her steady job of posing for photos with cigars for tourists

when i first listened to lou reed’s song, chills ran down my spine. much later i knew why. i had these images in my head and could only let them go after i had captured them in photos.
nothing for the faint-hearted.

“just a perfect day, you made me forget myself. i thought i was someone else, someone good.” [lou reed]

éphémère III, selfportrait.

#selfportrait #photography #visualArt #BlackAndWhite

third  picture of the series “ephemeral” : black and white self-portrait photograph of a woman's head, completely covered with a light gray silk scarf.  the facial features can only be guessed at, but the mouth is open in a scream,, the eyes are also wide open and directed at the viewer.  it seems as if the woman is  agitated and is desperately  to make herself noticeable through the barrier of the cloth.

black and white photography with intentional camera movement, taken in a forest against the setting sun.  this makes the background lighter than the (black) tree trunks of the dense forest in the foreground.  by moving the camera during the exposure, the tree trunks and the light forest floor are gently blurred in an oblique direction from lower right to upper left.

Color photography in vertical format, female surreal self-portrait (head and décolleté) in front of a dark background.  The woman has turned her head slightly to the left looking out of the picture.  You can see her upper body up to about chest height.  she is partially dressed in a kind of corset made of blue, green and turquoise scales.  their headgear is helmet-like and made of the same material.  the woman seems very relaxed, calm, almost dreamy and has turned away from everything.  face and neck are pale, lips and around the eyes bright dark red.  the colors overall very expressionistic and bright .  The photo is motion-blurred due to intentional movement during a long exposure time.

#motionBlur

color photography in the red, orange and yellow color spectrum.  female self-portrait of a woman kneeling on one knee, moving her arms around her head in a circular motion like a solar storm.  The photo is motion-blurred due to intentional action during a long exposure time.  several photos are exposed semi-transparently one on top of the other, the same woman adopts slightly different poses, her face is turned, gesticulating.  the atmosphere of the photo is energetic, heat like the sun radiates towards the viewer: she is a solar power plant.

👉 Following me might put more of the following in your feed.

#Poetry
#FlashFiction
#Photos
#VisualArt (mostly sketches—see my Media section)
#RandomThoughts

I boost #SpeculativeFiction, #QueerRomance, #Erotica (& #Smut), and political news when painful or transgressive messages have what I feel in the moment are appropriate content wrappers and attached images have alt text / descriptions.

Last Saturday was the 7 year anniversary party from #beatstaylove in #schlosskellerdarmstadt & I converted the BSL logo from SVG into 3D in Blender & then into an audio reactive visual with #modv.

The music is taken from #Nogata set https://www.mixcloud.com/BeatStayLove/beats-they-love-015-by-nogata/, so make sure to check that out!

#nerddisco #threejs #visualart #genart #generative #visuals #art #generativeart #audio #audioreactive #dnb #drumandbass #darmstadt #mastoart

The Beat Stay Love logo in 3D, rotating around the z-axis to the left when the music is quiet and rotating to the right when the music is loud. When the music is loud, there is also a waveform inside the logo and the edged of the logo spread across the whole screen. Also the hue is changed.

A digital painting of the lower half of a woman’s face, with bright red lips. She is wearing a traditional Ukrainian shirt, “vyshyvanka”, and a necklace of red beads.
A digital painting of a woman sitting on a red cushion and wearing a pink robe. She is looking down and her face is mostly blocked by her brown hair.
A photo of me (a white woman with shoulder-length brown hair) in front of 2 of my other digital paintings that are hanging on a gallery wall. I am wearing a black dress with pink flowers and professional-looking heels. I’m looking over my shoulder back at the camera, smiling.

black and white portrait photograph of a cuban woman (only the head and a small part of the upper body).  She is standing in the landscape, wearing a Panama-style straw hat and smoking a cigar.  She has very long fingernails with an elaborate pattern,  holds the cigar between her index and middle finger and pulls on it.  with a provocative, serious look, she looks slightly sideways directly into the camera/at the viewer who is very close to her. The ash of the cigar is very long.

"Hasky - Comin Straight” with visuals by @NERDDISCO

Check out the full release on SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/bananabassmusic/hasky-comin-straight-bbm-032

The visual is called "nd-buffer-landscape-003" and it’s based on two cones in #ThreeJS. We are looking at it from the bottom, no lights. When there is color, you can see the mesh. hue and color intensity is controlled via #modV

🚨 photosensitive viewers 🚨

#visualart #genart #generative #visuals #art #generativeart #bananabassmusic #audio #audioreactive #dnb #drumandbass

Two audio reactive cones. One is in the front, the other more in the back, wireframe texture, scaled to be bigger. When the frequency is high, the cones texture is changed to extrude it. Colors are changing from a green / blue, into purple/pink/red the higher the frequency.

“Documentation of Process samples from a lifetime of making self-portraits to honor practices of radical transformation and exploratory growth. Embodied experiences in art, science, and spirituality facilitate a deep examination of the interconnectedness of process and product.” — #brettCook

on display now at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts @ybca #YBCA #visualArt #multimedia

video showing the depth of Brett Cook’s multimedia installation piece, Documentation of Process.

media used: “spray enamel, paint pen, original drawings in graphite, ink, pigment on paper, Mylar, prepared polyester, LED lights, decades of used spray nibs, and personal contemplative
practice obiects on wood”

“The Documentation series is a decades-long practice incorporating #biographical materials, #drawings, objects, words, and #photographs into kaleidoscopic installations. The works are self-reflective and intensely personal, and include obiects from my past preserved by my mother and myself. Lavered around bold central images, the objects offer contemplative and humanizing #narratives of my past and present #relationships in ways that invite each viewer to look deeply.” #brettCook #visualArt

partial view of Brett Cook’s installation, “Documentation of Process”, featuring deeply personal ephemera from the artist’s practice, surrounding a painted self-portrait on mirror.

Overall interests: science, anything physics, gardening, hiking, building stuff, architecture, movies, aesthetics, #visualart, #gourmet #cooking, fiction, family time. These many things are a way of experiencing the world and deriving meaning from it. I've lasted quite a while and so I know shit and really like being me. Cheers to all my fellow humans.

Hello Fediverse, I'm writing my 2nd #introduction, having just moved servers 👍

INPUT: I'm an arts + humanities nerd with one foot squarely in the junk drawer: #SciFi, #fantasy, #CultFilm, horror, anime, video games, #punk. I ride with Nabokov and Tolkien and Marshall McLuhan and Evangelion and Stephen King.

OUTPUT: I am doing #poetry and exploring #VisualArt, always maintaining lots of notebooks and #sketchbook -s.

Attached: my best representative sample of my aesthetic at work 🤘

Pencil drawing of a large male figure bent forward in an aggressive posture, wearing a mask; reminiscent of a barbarian or a berserker. Also, signed in red ink in the top left corner.
Photograph of a carnival at sunset/night, at an upward angle, showing the roofs of a carousel, a ferris wheel, and an orange, pink, and purple sky. All the amusement park equipment is lit up with string lights.
A photograph of a small window in a stone wall, looking out on a grassy expanse. There is a full moon overlaid transparently over the grass, centered in the window.
An ink drawing with digital coloring of a male figure standing in waist-high liquid, facing away from the viewer, toward a demon in the form of a head with arms and a fierce expression. The human figure has arms outstretched, as if engaging, or perhaps welcoming, the demon.
