Another one of the half-serious sequence of "artistic images" in the sense of the typical photoshop smudge. The original was horrible. So you add some waves and some flying cubes and here you are arts! ;-)
BTW, not to say that Gustavo's universe is not well done. Quite the contrary, he always cares for good work and this is exactly what separates his work from the many too many smudges that camouflage incompetence with "artistic inspiration". Gustavo's artwork is a result of his ideas while such a smudge like this here is simply the result of insisting to "salvage" an image for posting it.
Why I consider this image rubbish? Well, I wanted to zoop out for letting the screen and the icons look like being travelling away toward some "attractor". And what did I get? A terrible image with no contours, no good light, nothing at all that could be seen as comparable to what I intented. So, just take it with a corn of salt and smile about me as a "natural born artist" who doesn't need to work because he is doing "arts". ;-)
Guy, you know what a nuicance it can be to rip the masks off all their "artistic" faces! ;-)
As alread said, the end result may also have many things that one thinks about when seeing it. Much like the process of motion from and back to infitity, as you already said. But the thing is...
I could have smudged just about anything, anything at all on that, and everybody would always find some kind of "content" on it. And this is what I am trying to make clear. The fact that the spectatorn can find a "content" does not say anything aboout the presence of any intention for such a cintent at all. In other words, I couls just upload any kind of smudge I like and surely many many many people would say to me how great it is, and what they think about it... But this is a false confirmation.
It is like standing proud there and smiling at the sun for being awarded as an "honorable citizen" of some city for having... let's say, having rescued some people from fire an a theater by having breaking a hole on its wall while driving too fast to avoid the impact. It was not any intention, there has been no will to save the poor people from a horrible death, it was only an accident - and so... elementary conscience would (should!) prevent any thinking humanum from accepting that award. It is a matter of hinesty or of just standing straight and not with the lust for distintion of the mediocre mind.
For this honest approach many a human will be the target of attack, but such attacks never reach their target. Simply because the target is standing much much higher. Which I also start recognizing more and more in your independent kind of photography, Visar. It shows me a renegade that just does what he thinks that it has to be done, with no reference whatsoever to any "status quo".
I see this work, and ok, i might say that there is a heavenly blue in motion against fire colour water, and flying empty cubes (which might resemble to humans, and their destiny) coming from infinity and going back there!
but, i am playing cunningly here, i see your intention and i will not say that! ;)
though, i will have to say that much of our common universe gets its meaning in the process of its motion! and bearing that in mind, i think that much many things bear the same destiny~ but of course, only after a certain pattern that may predict or deduct a certain result!
And you say, you don't know what else to say, Marana? Say simply what you described now. You see? It was very well possible, and it also gave me some good idea about how you see that, which of course is always a good starting point. Or else... you know, you say you like it, or you dony´t like it and that was it. It would be poor and somehow pointless this way, wouldn't it?
As about "credits for my work", I just can't have them. It is not my work. It is the work of coinsidence. It doesn't differ at all from, say, the result of the wind arranging leaves in some particular way. In both cases there was no self-aware mind behind the result, and the definition of art inlcudes the self-aware, the conscious mind.
These are not "my ideas" but the self-contained definitions in any preliminary foundation of what art is all about. Just check the origins of the word itself (art from artificial as oposed to the natural, the conscienceless result.) It doesn't matter if 95% of people think that their personal ideas based on personal feelings has to do something with arts, exactly as it doesn't matter if 95% of people think that mathematics is for calculating. ;-) These are not matters of arbitrarism by the laymen.
So, when I just smudged around with PS and a completely empty mind (really, I din't think of anything special), I wasn't working. I could have just thrown stones in the lake instead, or looked the wall, or anything similar. The result may look nice and be liked, I won't contradict that, but it doesn't belong to my images. It belongs to my accidental "somethings", that's all. I wish I would have done it consciously but I didn't, and *this* is *the* criterion - not the looks of the result.
I don't know what else to say...Sometimes when I look at an image I know exactly what I like about it, and why I like it, sometimes it's just a feeling (and if I try to find the elements I like about a feeling, that doesn't work). I understand your ideas about this image, and even if you don't want to take the credits for it, it's still your image, your work... Regards, Marana.
Well... cubism is something else than the presence of cubes in the image, Dave. Soon I'll be posting a purely photographic series on that.
But still many thanks for the nice comment. And still, it may be appealing as much as it takes but it was way no artistic work of mine. Simply because it was not my image. I didn't made it. The incident made it, as I was "playing around with the sliders of PS filters", having no concept at all until I found the 3-D rendering of the cubes. So, I can't claim it was something that came out of conscious work of my mind... It was.. accidentally doing. Perhaps a nicely looking accident but not really my image. I hope you understand that I am not trying to reduce your liking to triviality - I rather try to be honest with you, with all the people here, and abpve all with my own self. Your liking is nit trivial but the making of the image was less than trivial.
And here is the original! May I present you one the most horrible images ever! So the reason for the retouch is obvious, ey? Oh yes, I was doing "arts", that is. ;-)
