I am a visual artist with a physical disability interested in writing a game. In this game you will make an avatar that lives online but who also appears in the material realm. The goal is to write your own story as you live it.
The world has changed. We humans, all of us, have come through something strange and awful and weird.
It is as if we all lost our minds and are stuck, trying to recover without help or guidance. Most of us haven’t been able to identify the cause because it is hidden. Although, we have our suspicions. There is no one who knows what to do to fix us and our broken world.
The psychic attack is top-down. It comes from everywhere all at once. Into our homes, for our families. We were unprepared for the viciousness. We were babies in the woods with no one to protect us.
Our institutions attacked us. All at once, with a mind virus pretending to be biological. Then, it came hard at us with a solution. These are the tropes of mind control. Create a problem, introduce the solution. Rinse. Repeat.
Our lack of protection from our institutions was astonishing. Slowly we discovered with a careful wariness the weaponized bureaucracy that still holds us in an undeclared civil war. We could not see this enemy because it was in us. In our government in our professionals. There is no one to blame.
And so here we are up. Still alive. Up and moving around cautiously. The questions of rebuilding trust and prosperity run through our blood and veins.
We have never experienced such a deep psychic wound. Not since the tower of babel fall have we been so disoriented and unable to communicate with each other. Every topic is a minefield. We tiptoe around each other looking for connection.
Good Morning, Beautiful. Well the sun is shining on our glorious city #YGK. I’d like to say how much fun I am having building my website. Sure is challenging to be happy. There is always one more thing to do to get it working. I love playing with the colours and fonts and the general look of it. That’s the artist in me, always trying to make things look sweeter. Here, let me add a photo from my Pentax below.
Our Street
This is the picture of our street on January 1, 2024. The trouble is it’s a bit fuzzy. It is fuzzy because I have to make it about 600K for uploading to the site lilacflows.com, and the images come out of the camera at about 3Meg. I am still in the process of refining the exact procedure for the reduction process using Automator. I have the photos coming out too small at around 70K and will increase 10X to 700K. Should make a difference. We will see. Below is a picture of my fine camera.
Pentax K-1oo D Super
I bought it during the last year of my undergrad around 2007…
Now, back to uploading new photos to this website. First, remove the memory card from my DSLR Pentax K100 D Super and place it into the slot on my little media hub. Then, ask the Automator to resize all the images from the last few days. I will perfect this process as the year moves on.
