I'm quite happy that I stumbled upon "Ashes to Ashes" by @fdoganis on as an affordable edition of 25 from back in the days.

I love the artist's mystical series "Oniropolis (Ονειρόπολις)" on that captures a dark essence of its subjects, and this one feels like its conceptual and visual conclusion.

You can see the other pieces from the series that I collected featured in my Deca.Art gallery "Paint it Black" (https://deca.art/boringoldguy/paintitblack).

"Memory Module" by Elsif visualises how memories are stacked on top of each other to create beliefs, how they get obscured by new impressions, and how varying the resulting personalities are. The thoughtful concept results in beautiful images with reduced palettes and shapes that resemble mental landscapes.

I love how the digital canvas is the colour of old parchment, fitting the theme of documenting old memories perfectly.

Iterations and

Black and white generative artwork. Portrait orientation. Canvas the nostalgic colour of parchment or cardboard. Tilted and layered black rectangular outlines are arranged in flowing shapes, reminiscent of hills and rough terrain.

@cmconseils Thank you, Laura! I've been dipping my toes in here about a year ago already, and feel like the Fediverse has become more interesting and welcoming since. The hello you gave me is a sure sign of that!😊

Here's another pairing of images that, when I noticed them, seem to be having a conversation:

"Torn Fjords" by @plasm0 and "Draining the clouds" by @heliodorosantos

United by colours and glitch, yet complementary in framing, atmosphere and main subject, they seem to point out the contradiction between representation and the actual subject and how both can be datafied.

More art from my collection that needs to be seen:

"Impossible places " by @nicolavilla and "Sublime Inside 2" by @labelsonhumans

Two artists seem to be having a dialog about reality and memories of places and events through their works.

In a thread on Twitter by Nicola, you can read about the creative process behind his artwork (see attached screenshot for easier reference): https://twitter.com/nicolavilla5/status/1644703662147616771?s=20

Screenshot of a Twitter thread processed by the @threadreaderapp service; here is the text without descriptions of the images attached to each tweet: Little thread about how it's made…. Impossible places 02 1/5 Lately I loose myself in feeding AI with different pictures coming from screenshots from my phone as well as from my paintings archive… Times ago while looking at some webcam to know if the sea will be good for fishing the day after I accidentally took this… 2/5 Later days ago after stumbling in it in my album I decided to give it some stablediffusion treatment just to see what eventually could come out and got those two outputs between others that looks kind of fascinating for my eyes 3/5 Next step were some /blend iteration in Midjourney that gives some pretty cool and more detailed versions and picked up this raw one 4/5 Then it cames the postproduction workflow starting from a bmp blend with a personal pattern to get the grain effect, adding lights, and finally cropping and changing the full image size/aspect to get the final result(detail here) 5/5

@richardboeser I think the third one (bottom left) would work great as a print, but I like the first one even more (though probably not as well suited as a print on the wall).

More art from my collection that needs to be seen:

"Island of Mountains" by Caddy2317

The blurred views of mysterious mountains convey the magic of Taiwan's fog forests. Watching the generative process in live view feels like watching a painter fill the canvas layer by layer.


Project link: https://www.fxhash.xyz/generative/slug/lsland-of-mountains

Abstract artwork, a blurred view of shades of yellowish green, soft pink and blue that comes together as a foggy mountain view in the early morning.

"Kratta #4" by @juhani_halkomaki radiates a peaceful calm reminiscent of a Japanese dry garden.

It currently is just the thing I feel like looking at.

@twilliability Hey gábor, I'm glad you enjoy this kind of stuff! Finding people who appreciate digital art on Mastodon felt difficult to me when I first tried to put my content on here a year ago. The lack of interest was actually what has driven me away towards Twitter again.

Getting such positive feedback from you on my first post here again after all this times sure feels like a good sign! Thanks for keeping me motivated to go on.

Anyone there?

@richardboeser "Zug" is a really awesome project! I loved it from the moment I first saw the previews (which was too late already to still be able to mint one).

Beautiful!

More art from my collection that needs to be seen:

"Uncalibrat_d #3" by Valeen GLX and "Aurae #1" by @mandybrigwell

Both of these works from are compelling on their own, but when I saw them next to each other, I saw a perfect match in colour and style. "Aurae" seems to pick up the frayed threads that "Uncalibrat_d" dropped and makes the colours and lines into something new.
