The cold reader exploits that the human mind is a whiz at making senses of information, shaping faces out of leaves, finding religious icons on pieces of toast, and letting us believe general sentences and uncertain questions add up to prophesy. ~Thomm Quackenbush
Facial Pareidolia & Snarky Galactics
I live with facial pareidolia, Google it. This is why all I create has faces.
I love creating non traditional humanoid faces using any medium I can, beginning in 2017 I have devoted to creating kaleidoscopic humanoids within images based off of both fractal prints, random patterns generated using Tapet and reworks based on images of some of my favorite artist friends. Oh yes and sometimes the base image I process using Google’s Deep Blue AI – Dream Deeply for added intensity and awesomeness.
This video presents the total of 183 unique 24″ x 42″ Digital Prints (I prefer prints on Glass) I created in the first 6 months of 2017. The Kaleidoscopic Humanoids collection so far are broken down into 13 series each with their own unique sense and flare.
The series are identified by a unique number associated with the unfolding point when my snarky galactic friends begged to be created in image. The series numbers are 1717. 11917, 13117, 2117, 3217, 3317, 31317, 32217, 32517, 4217, 42217, 52617, 61117.
Additional PS, Apophysis settings and source images available upon request.
Please view this video on your largest screen in fullscreen mode (up to full UHD 4k) whenever possible, since many times you will find a multitude of faces in each individual print from different head tilts or just shifting your gaze. I create my work for you to explore and then explore again and be amazed.
So floss your brain, expand your perceptions and have fun playing with me and my snarky Galactic friends I have unfolded for you to see.
I began in Rawlins WY where I taught myself how to program images and sounds on a Commodore 64 from articles in Computer User Magazine. My artistic development progressed from simple 8-bit images and sounds which could not be recorded very well yet, unless you loaded the program on the computer to designing of velvet hats and accessories as a broader medium. I focused on print making techniques through school, then I completed a digital imaging and printing technology college course. I worked on developing industry standard PDF based printing systems to deliver a streamlined process which produced consistent digital prints which met or exceeded customers expectations awhile implementing a workflow which is now the ‘industry standard’. Through my positions at Kinko’s I was a key influence on the strategy which committed all the stores to digital equipment apposed to analog based machines. These massive investments set the standard and environment for equipment manufactures to develop some key standards of operation we now in-joy as common place.
Through this scope of experience I began to perceive just how that the universe can be a platform to express my own unique interpretations of reality. I played around with several different mediums becoming a masterful player in each one. My desire to creatively alter our existence through visual work has brought me to a place, in my development as a visual artist, where my beliefs transgress through who I am and into my all my creations. All of my works are spiritually based and spiritually bound in the love, light and truth that is. They are all clear of byproducts and centered around how I expand within the love and light I am.
I believe in defining the natural consequences for my consciousness and this takes me to a plane where most artist long to be, manifesting my own destiny through divinity. I want to consciously explore all art with all creators and working together toward the common goal of creatively uniting all Earthlings within the one we are.
