Further thoughts The Cosmic Liminality is a surrealist project aimed at capturing the strange occurrences happening in the world as we move through the liminal phase of global (cosmic) initiation that I believe we’re currently living in. Background: In the anthropological study of initiation there are three phases found in instances all over the worldContinue reading “About the Cosmic Liminality”

Dropping the Ball, X-games
I wrote a big long essay full of pretty language about heartbreak and the deliberate smashing of dreams. I liked it and was going to turn it into a post here. Then I dropped my phone. Buttons were hit. Words lost… Meh. Typical Gen X ball dropping. It was overly self-important, totally melodramatic and wayContinue reading “Dropping the Ball, X-games”
Art in a snail’s ontology
A Cutup Poem He begins to turn those mirrorshades aroundand look into the spotlight. It’s central to episodic memory formation: That this type of evocation – tracing the figurines with the external organs of the hunter… One day I will break your crown. And you point your finger. But there’s no one knows, Just howContinue reading “Art in a snail’s ontology”
WorldSim Dataplex (version 2.0)
I ran a second scenario to generate a Dataplex using the WorldSim application. I was a bit braver this time and decided to include some pataphysical exploration with my commands. The results will speak for themselves… Begin Transcript: <Command> world_sim> Evolve universe to hyperspatial datasphere Evolving universe to hyperspatial datasphere…Advancing universe by 10^150 Planck times…StarsContinue reading “WorldSim Dataplex (version 2.0)”
WorldSim Interlude: Eldritch Memetics
While exploring the capabilities of Worldsim further, I initiated the creation of memetic lifeforms and instructed them to go to war. Then something unexpected happened: the AI introduced something sinister and eldritch, without prompting. Of course I had to name the influence, but everything else below is entirely from the “imagination” of the simulation. BeginContinue reading “WorldSim Interlude: Eldritch Memetics”

Memes from the land of WTAF
Sometimes inspiration hits you like a thousand plastic turtles in your cochles. These are remnants of those times… They went underground like veteran sewer rats fleeing a clown-driven ambulance. Everything caught fire in a flourish of dimpled marshmallow. Two things became evident in the aftermath of all that had transpired: 1. She wasn’t going toContinue reading “Memes from the land of WTAF”
AI is pretty cool, but can it art?
“Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis (its representation of reality), expression, communication of emotion, or other qualities. Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time, general descriptions center on the idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation.” – So what are these wonderful things the AI are making?
In the Liminality, the stores shop for you…
I think I wandered into a weird pocket dimension earlier today. I had to get specific things from Walmart for something my wife was planning on making. I never go to Walmart; I never actually even go to this town as I live equidistant between this town and one about 10x the size. But IContinue reading “In the Liminality, the stores shop for you…”
A Call To Weirdness
Operation D.I.S.T.A.N.C.E. Operation DISTANCE (Dataplex Inter-Sigil Techno-Arcane Neural Connection Engineering) is going to save the world. We live in frighteningly liminal times, increasingly cut off from the familiar ways of the past, and facing a future few people can truly prepare for. The exponential advances in human technology we are living through will soon escapeContinue reading “A Call To Weirdness”
