Hello Fike, Your mail has arrived. Thank you for the playful enclosures. FYI: my iuoma avatar is made from a mask (2006) decorated with dried flowers and leaves, feathers, snakeskin, and semi-precious stones carvings. It represents Gaia, mourning the destruction of the earth.

Thank you! I will send something your way too! I have just finished my studies and am looking for a job. I've spent the last 7 years working with homeless people and people with addictions and mental illnesses.

See you in the mail,

K.G.B.

P.S. Picasso is my ideal: to see things like him, but avoid the trap of being such a person.

P S1 I will post on IUOMA.

PS2 To me, Shakespeare tells something completely different in the sense of "Much ado about nothing" 🤔 duplicitous man 😅..

Seeking external genitalia images from google's DeepDream

Posted on July 11, 2024 at 12:36pm 1 Comment

As many of you may know, I'm trying to get google's DeepDream AI image generation application to make suitably  strange or even suggestive images for use as mailart. My thought is that an AI is NOT human and will misunderstand our language perhaps interestingly.
