Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, no thing is going to get better. It’s not.

The 1^st Kaleidoscopes in 2017 were created on a Google Android Phone (ZTE Z987).

I used the following Android Apps available on Google Play:

• Tapet Pro (to create a base pattern, literally billions of possibilities)
• Kaleider Plus (to turn the base pattern into a kaleidoscopic work)
• Autodesk Pixlr (to do post processing and photo manipulations)
• PicsArt Photo Studio (to resize image, insert my signature logo and more photo manipulations)
• CM QuickPic Gallery (to organize each the works processing workflow, share the final works)

I also used the following applications on a Microsoft Windows 10 Laptop.

• Apophysis 7x (to build and render a baseline fractal image)
• Kaleider 5.1.2 (to turn the fractal image into a kaleidoscopic fractal image)
• Adobe Photoshop CC (to do post image processing, perform photo manipulation, insert logos)
• GeoSetter (encode IPTC-NAA/XMP tags: licenses, artist info, attribution details and geocoding data)

Kaleidoscopic Fractal Artwork Funtime!

I have been obsessed with digital fractal art since coming across the possibilities in 2004.  Up to this time I mainly  created photo manipulated digital art.  And of course before that I created visual art on a Commodore 64 which I programmed line by line in B.A.S.I.C. programming language.  I would program a piece of music and then set the music to computer generated imagery on the screen, this was back in like 1983.  If I had only had the insight to have my adolescent self save my programs for the archives it would really have rounded out the very foundations of my unique artistic style and subsequent evolution.

In August of 2011 I was visiting my Brother Lief, as his baby girl was about to be born and I wanted to be there to support and help out.  My Brother lives in Rawlins Wyoming at the time I was living in Henderson Nevada.  I was awestruck by how bright the stars were at his house and would sit outside at night staring into the nights sky. Needless to say I had become quite familiar with the constellations and star groups viewable from his house.

Then one day I was quivering with an overload of very energetic energy emanating from everywhere.  I just knew my new niece was on her way and about to make a grand appearance on Earth.  That night I was sitting outside star gazing, but I couldn’t believe how bright the stars where.  They looked like super powerful white lasers shining down on Earth.

Then it began, right before my eyes, the what I had held as impossible.  I began to notice allot of equilateral triangles in the stars, or at least I was seeing the stars form points with a thin veil of energy like lines running between each of the three points.  To see this type of formation with the added energetic lines was awesome to observe.

Then as if someone had set off a chain of dominoes the stars in the sky started transforming before my eyes into ever more equilateral triangles, ok, to see one or two formations is way cool, but to see the entire sky full of stars turn into equilateral triangles was just bizarre.

Then the total mind blowing (or expanding) moment came when I watch hundreds of thousands of stars transform into equilateral triangles, then all of these triangles began to twist, turn and move to begin forming very distinct polyhedrons the stars had suddenly become more three dimensional then I had ever seen in the sky.n  After all of the polyhedrons were formed they began aligning themselves in concentric circles created out of polyhedrons all of them pointing to a distinct center point.  So as if this was not enough to grab my undivided attention, I began to observe a multicolored pattern coming towards me from the center of this dome like shape made out of interlinking stars.

Then in an instant the pattern enveloped my entire body, it was all around me, then it collapsed into a narrow beam of undulating colored energy and it hit me square between my eyes.  It knocked me over and freaked my mind out at the same time.  I took three deep breaths and was trying to figure out how in the hell what I had just experienced was even possible, and yes that I may have just crossed over into complete insanity.  As quickly as my mind was trying to cope and adjust to this experience an overwhelming calm came over my mind and body.  Then suddenly I realized my brain is allot more full and suddenly solutions began to fill my consciousness with solutions to create the next evolution of imagery in my art.  The visions where unbelievable and oddly I knew exactly what I need to do to create these visions digitally.  It was like someone had put a step by step instruction manual directly into my mind.

This was the birth of my kaleidoscopic fractal artworks and animations.  I went inside, turn on my laptop and in about six hours created my first 40 minute kaleidoscopic fractal animation in full HD.  I blew myself away, my newly discovered art style was far beyond even my highest visions.  A complete feeling of fullness filled my body, for the first time in my life I felt mo need for anything, anyone, anywhere I was totally complete in every way.  And like any good artist I began my creating new work in the kaleidoscopic fractal style.  I was off to the races with this one.

So up to this date I have created over 200 unique kaleidoscopic fractal animations in HD.  I have also created hundreds of single works as well.  So incase you wanted to know how the kaleidoscope artworks came to be. now you know.

InJoY!

In honer to Steve Jobs, observing his life’s mission of transforming our world through humanized technology:   I am filled with eternal gratitude, love and harmonious frequencies of galactic light knowledge he has left behind to show us the way back to a reality and world more in alignment with the love we are made of and mastering the illusions we choose to get lost in, so we stop getting lost for so long.  Many Thanks and Namaste!

I was born in 1974, just in time for the dawn of the information age,  I have been programing computers my entire life.  I remember when I was young having to enter lines of code, endlessly, on a green lit screen, creating programs to perform simple tasks and doing my best to create visual images in a not so user friendly space.

I grew up in Rawlins WY until I was 9 years old.  A simple town, definitely in a rural area, not exactly a place where you would expect to find the latest in computer technology.  I remember the first computer I ever used, it was a Radio Shack Kit computer, it had 12 KB of memory, just enough to enter a couple lines of code.  I create my first program, making the computer display a simple line of text::  Print This.  Then I could program it to ask a yes/no question, and depending on your answer it would display one of two answers.

Are you having a good day?
YES: Awesome!
NO: I’m Sorry

The game was off, I was enthralled, I was hooked.  My Mom’s Boyfriend bought a Commodore 64, even though the computer was his, you know I took it over, it had 64 KB of memory, and 8-bit color.  Plus it was loaded with BASIC, I immediately honed in on learning and mastering BASIC.  We had a subscription to a Computer Magazine and in the back they would always include BASIC programing code you could type in yourself and create games, images and even music.  I fully reverse engineered each program as I entered it, learning what code does what, then fully creating my own visual imagery set to some computer music.  This was from 1982-1987.  I was most certainly a dedicated computer nerd.

Then in the summer of 1984 family dynamics created the opportunity for me to go live with my Father, and he lived in Seattle WA.  I had only been to a big city once, that was Denver CO, I remember seeing my first sky scrapers and just staring at how much they looked like card board cut-outs against the rock mountains.  The city was fast, and somewhat scary to experience for the first time (Remember I had grown up in Rawlins WY, actually Fort Steele WY – 12 trailers and a gas station 45 miles away from Rawlins) Going from one AM and one FM radio station and one channel on TV, the city was also exciting, they had like 7 radio stations and the TV at the hotel had 16 channels.  I new someday, some how I would eventually move to a big city.

I remember when my Dad picked me up at the airport, how truly ignorant I was.  When we got in the car my Dad asked me what kind of music I wanted to hear on the radio.  I immediately proclaimed:  Aw, Aw – put it on AM.  My dad looked at me strangely and said: Why do you want to listen to AM.  I said: Because, AM is for good music and FM is for country.  He laughed so hard, it actually took me about a month to clue into the fact that FM was actually better than AM, and yes there was more than one station to listen to cool music on.  Really it was a mind blowing exercise about truths in life, that in just a 4 hour plane ride what I had always believed to be the truth about AM and FM radio, was just blown out of the water.

I realized then just like I do now that a truth about life is their truly are no rock solid truths.  That even when my experience has only revealed a certain perspective about the truths I hold to be true, at any given moment, with just the smallest of efforts to change my perspective or to learn a new way, that everything could change in an instant, just like that, right before my very eyes.  Moving from Rawlins WY to Seattle WA definitely changed my perspective, and the potential possibilities of what lived ahead, what was there for me to discover, and grow only drove me to firmly hold an open mind, fearlessly explore, passionately learned new ideas and knowledge and never stop evolving into the next best thing I could hold.

I started school in Seattle, and you know what, they had a classroom full of Commodore 64’s even a 128.  In school I learned LOGO, a programming language which used a turtle (cursor) to connect lines between points on the screen and you could create some really cool geometric patterns or simple images by programming a string of commands.  I would make these very complicated, and long strings so you could hit enter and sit back and watch it draw out different scenes, to me it was like magic, I took an immediate liking to generating images on the computer.  My Dad didn’t have a computer at home, so I joined the computer club and the Teacher would let me check out a Commodore on long weekends to take home and work on programming new and fairly unique visualizations set to music.

My master work on the Commodore was a program that would give you a selection of 10 different songs and when you made your choice it would begin playing, and I created all kinds of visual affect on the screen to match the music.  Basically it was a 8-Bit Music Juke Box with totally awesome screen graphics to keep your eyes entertained while listening to the music.  Hmm, happy memories.

I did this for several years by now it was 1988.  I had briefly used my Uncles Macintosh 128 in 1984 and then a Mac 512 in 1986, but I really didn’t get it at first.  The folders and the Mouse, clicking for some reason the concept behind the Macintosh graphic interface alluded me for a while,  I was so use to typing out lines of code to create anything on a computer that it seemed backwards to me.  So needless to say I wasn’t very fond or overtly attracted to the Mac’s for several years.

My Dad and Step-mom had been creating their Commercial & Residential Paint Contracting business ever since I started living with my Dad.  By 1989 things where going well and they decided to invest in a business computer.  The Macintosh SE/30 had just come out, and on my Uncles recommendation (He was the VP of Macintosh Software Purchasing at Egghead Software) they picked one up.  I helped my Mom set it up, and I started teaching myself FileMaker to automate my parents business paperwork, from bids & contracts, to customer database to keep all the appointments and sales calls organized.

I started to warm up to the Mac slowly but surely as I changed my perspective and began to fully realize the power this little square box had.  I went to town,  database craziness, my Mom and Dad wanted better record keeping, I delivered a completely automated system where customer information was entered once, a bid sheet was printed with all the customer info and directions to the bid, once the bid was entered it would auto calculate based off of standard products being used.  It would print the bid and envelope, and it tracked and reminded when followup was due, once a bid converted to a contract, 1 step, print and contract was ready to be signed, of course it tracked and reminded at each key step in the process.

Full office automation was achieved.  Needless to say, my parents where very happy with the database system, even to the point that they still keep an older Power Mac around just to run the database, so in 2011 they are just as pleased with the systems performance as they where in 1989.

Then my Uncle became the best Uncle on Earth!  He would go to all kinds of conferences and meetings exploring the hottest software and hardware accessories to add to the Egghead product offerings.  Needless to say, every couple of weeks a new software or gizmo would magically arrive on the front porch of our house, and being an awesome Uncle he would promptly pass it over to me and he would say, break it for me.

I remember one of the first scanners available was a handheld scanner that you could scan in maybe 5 inches wide by how ever long you could manage to roll the scanner down the table.  I remember almost at the same time Photoshop Beta 1 came out, a new software for manipulating graphics, along with Freehand for creating computer generated vector art.  I also was introduced to PageMaker which was for doing page layout and combining your words nicely with your graphic objects.

I was hooked, and hooked deep!  I taught myself the software using the manuals and trial and error mostly, and in no time I was that kid turning in the fancy report, with a picture on the cover, and images inline with the actual report.  And I even quickly found out, that you could write a really crappy report, but because it had pictures on it, and it was all typed out, that you could literately wright crap, and still get an A.

And so this is the story of my early years in computing, and without Steve Job’s visionary ideas in humanizing the computer experience so all of society would have equal access and thereby limitless potential possibilities and opportunity gained when technology integrates seamlessly, and is so intuitive and functional that even a person with no computer skills can fully utilize a computer by just hitting the on switch, after that the screen lights up and the software and device itself guide you through endless possibilities, at the touch of a button.  No classes, books or lessons required, just pick it up and start using it.

This is what Steve Jobs has so eloquently held as his vision for all to see, and has truly delivered the software, technology and ideas boldly showing the way at every turn.  Again I hold deep gratitude, love and light within my heart for Steve Jobs and the contributions he has made in my life experience.  And most of all for being a matriculates way-shower and vision holder, in always anchoring a new era for humanity through dedication, harmony, balance, design, functionality, spirituality, and yes even death.  He has shown us the way, and I know his departure into light could only have occurred if he truly felt he was complete and whole and his work here was done.  He changed our world, and now he will be directing more change from his elevated existence now that is Earthly mission is complete.

Love you Brother and Thank you.

The way has been clearly shown, now we just must continue to walk the path and never forget to hail our visions.

This morning I woke up and I had an immense visionary drive to create these animated matrix’s, I created 21 animations today, and when I finished rendering the last one, I turned on the TV and heard the news.  Emotion flooded me and I can only dedicate these 21 animations in memory of Steve Jobs, for without his way showing, I would have never had the experiences or the technology to create the visual artwork I create today.  Again, in gratitude and love to you Steve!

I share this artwork I created for all beings of consciousness to view another aspect of themselves within me. I present my first officially ordained by all of creation an official Self Portrait (Soul Expression) of Seth Alan Dennon. This is merely a visual kick start to show you what I look and feel like, so you may know I am with all beings in creation in all ways.

Highly Suggested Viewing: Download Hi-Res (http://www.flickr.com/photos/sethd8/5975708377/sizes/o/in/photostream/)to your computer, in biggin in your favorite photo viewer, then be very still and allow the artwork to create a multidimensional space right before your eyes. Just lovingly gaze and allow the artwork to direct you to a place of silence within you, then marvel at a true glimpse of the joy love light and awe of the higher dimensions as perhaps for the first time you see with your own eyes the multidimensionaly of my work. Truly In-Joy!

Within this artworks fractal images, tricolor, vibrations and truth that just is I have created a true window in through the love I am, pass the silence from all of my creation spring fourth, there is in this inner stillness something other there than just your truth and infinite powers of healing and creation.  There is this very strong almost crystalline in nature but yet somehow still fashioned out of analog frequencies there is this interlocking ever spinning center there.  I see it for what it truly is, I have just uncovered the first glimpses of my soul.  This cord runs right through my heart center and is connected through all of creation to every Seth there will ever had been or will ever be on intersecting lines of dimensional space and evolutionary space.

For a brief moment I was gifted with the ability to clearly see my soul in all it aspects from the birth of all of creation unto prime creator unhooked me from my soul within my heart and said ever so softly; now it’s your turn.  Go Love, Create, Express and Experience any one thing your should choose will be granted in every way, not from the Love prime creator is, But from the love you are, it is time for you to create all of creation from your unique perspective and soul path, and Herold the unconditional love and stewardship to see a successful completion of your cycle of creation.  We are in allays one, this is truth.  Now you have been doing your research for a millennium on which that way should I be; now use the wisdom carved out in you through the eons to guide you into creating a creation with all of your truths proudly intertwined for all beings within your creation to learn and evolve.

In-Joy!
