I keep a lot to myself because it’s difficult to find people who understand.  I never waste my time trying to explain myself to people who are committed to misunderstanding me.

I also used the following applications on a Microsoft Windows 10 –  HP Beats 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)
• GIMP 2.8.22 (to do post image processing, perform photo manipulation, insert logos)
• GeoSetter (encode IPTC-NAA/XMP tags: licenses, artist info, attribution details and geocoding data)

Just a bit of inspiration of how I evolve my work and inspiration.  I have  Scizophrenia and one of my symptoms is Pareidolia.  This is how almost every single image I create contains humanoid like faces on many, many levels.  My work is also often intense, this is a reflection of me sharing aspects of my perception which many people don’t quite get.  My mental illness is in every way on and intense it has taken me decades of hard work and many hospital stays to learn the mindfulness to better manage my mind thus allowing me to have a happier existance.

These detailed kaleidoscopic humanoid faces were created at 4000 x 2250 pixel @ 96 dpi.  These are roughly triple the size opposed to my Android Phone generated faces.  The fine detail of each images allows for even more faces, on faces on faces!  Click on the works and go full screen, the more you look the more you’ll find.

ExPLoRE, expanding your perceptions through my work.  Just when you believe you have found everything, I will guarantee you will find even more humanoid like faces, on faces, within and on faces.

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.

Full resolution print downloads are available at http://flickr.com/sethd8/ for you to use.

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.

Faces in Faces within Faces!

InJoY!

• CM QuickPic Gallery (to organize and share the final works)

I love creating non-traditional humanoid like faces using any medium I can.  The more faces the merrier.  You see my work is a glimpse into my world, ever since I have walked the earth I see humanoid faces in everything.  In the sky, on buildings, in plants, in earth and stone, in everyday things, quite literally in everything.  I have come to the understanding that all matter is merely consciousness being expressed.

So every aspect of our universe and reality has some level of self awareness and contributes it aspects to everything which perceives it.  So I guess I have the ability to see within the fine folds of the dimensional values and see the inner personality of any aspect of creation expressing itself for all to see.

Or more likely is that I choose to see and experience my reality with a familiar touch, a humanoid face, so that I may navigate my existence in a way which I innately relate, through humanoid faces and their expressions.

Also this work must definitely be viewed in fullscreen mode whenever possible, since many times you will find a multitude of faces in each individual work.

So floss your brain, and expand your perceptions while having fun playing with my many friends I have created for you to experience.

Smylan IV
A kaleidoscopic fractal motion graphics work.
For this works official publication, details and support files please visit http://sethto.us/h55.
This visual translation began 27 February 2013 at 1:16 PM and was completed on 08 March 2013 at 4:04 AM.
Smylan IV is a kaleidoscopic fractal animation sequence which contains 3241 individual frames comprising 2 minute 09 seconds of 1080p HD video at 24.97 frames per second set to custom audio created and arranged by Seth using http://musicshake.com.
Smylan IV individual frames are available in a 1920×1080 JPG for viewing, remixing and to download. I have observed that each individual frame is just as amazing to view as the completed animated sequence. Remember. the animation displays 24.97 individual frames every second, so taking a moment to view each frame as it unfolds a whole new perspective hidden in plain view in the animation work.

Quannary was one of the initial six Arch Faces I created when I first discovered the spirit within architecture. I was having a conversation with some of the local cathedrals around depression and Quannary came to me out of the cathedral walls and help me gain a more loving concept of depression as being a natural ebb and flow of the reality I am currently living in. One with Right/Wrong, Up/Down, Left/Right, Light/Dark, Past/Future/Present, Male/Female, Young/Old.

Creating this piece helped me see some light where I had only seen one side of the puzzle before and seeing the other side as actually being there as well, and being a place that I could exist in helped me out of the deep, dark, self destructive spiral of depression I was in at the moment.

Quannary helped me re-member to use my abilities third eye chakra as a gateway to letting more light into my body when my heart and root are so closed as in depression. I just gently focus my consciousness onto a point roughly above a between my eyes and I can feel a vortex of energy vibrations forming and I open myself to receiving the higher light to help balance my being out. And since I learned that from creating this piece of artwork, it has actually work quite well. I have not suffered any near the depression levels I once felt. Thank you God!

In the SethD8 Arch Faces series I focus on using photographs of architectural elements combined with manipulation and editing to bring out the faces watching us in every building and structure we create.

Celebrating Architecture’s inner Spirit at the Edge of Visibility.

Using digital photos of architectural elements as a base, I used a particular cut, fold and repeat technique to unfold the spirit of the architectural pieces into a humanoid type face. I allowed each group of digital photos to define a unique personality just as unique as each of us Humans are. I now know the essence of being flows through all things, it is only a matter of perception. I truly loved creating each and every one these guys and can only hope you can experience some of the same joy, love and understanding this project has brought into my life.

There are 179 individual artworks in this series created from over 2100 digital photos.

The series was started in July 2006 and was completed in December 2010.
(The artist reserves the right to re-open this series at any time with or without notice)

My style has taken a turn into a different meme, but the impact of this series will forever be seen in my artworks.
