Mon, 06 Dec 2021 11:31:01 +0000 https://energyart.uk/is_ai_art_art.htm https://energyart.uk/is_ai_art_art.htm Now we have AI art, AI pictures, AI music, AI poetry, AI story machines - but is it art when an algorithm aka AI (wrongfully named, in my opinion, "artificial intelligence") makes art? As someone who has been making fractal art for a very long time, this is the conclusion I have come to.  Mon, 14 Dec 2020 11:32:11 +0000 https://energyart.uk/the_old_artist_and_the_non-hierarchical_non-temporal_non-linear_aspects.htm https://energyart.uk/the_old_artist_and_the_non-hierarchical_non-temporal_non-linear_aspects.htm Originally written for the Star Matrix Masters group, this is one of the most profund expressions of the Modern Energy Art manifesto, and makes all the difference to "life as an artist." Yes, and then there's the sension story about "The Old Artist" (and their non-hierarchical, non-temporal, non-linear aspects ...)  Sun, 09 Aug 2020 08:34:05 +0100 https://energyart.uk/the_photographic_act_the_energy_perspective.htm https://energyart.uk/the_photographic_act_the_energy_perspective.htm The British Journal of Photography says in a recent advertisement: “The photographic act is often viewed as an assertion of masculine dominance; a predatory point-and-shoot action...” What does Modern Energy Art Photography have to say about that?.

Normal people are shockingly disconnected from art - from doing art (you need to be brainwash ... ahem, you need to study first for god alone knows how long before you get to call yourself an artist), to owning original art (that's only for rich/crazy people) and so many others beside.

This puts the artist in charge of what they want to experience in the process of creating a work of modern energy art.

It is a variant on the "Fear of the Obvious" which I have written about and ranted over for many years now. Essentially, art students and literary students are entrained to become blind to the obvious, and the literal, by being punished for being obvious and literal. This leads to a mental movement that becomes quite literally (!) the psycho-path.

Here, we bring together art and magic, energy and intention, creativity and craft to end up with a single "installation" which serves as a totem in its own right, but can be used for all manner of magical purposes just as perfectly as it can sit by itself on a plinth in an art exhibition. Oh, and of course, you can play with it. Age range - 3 to 300. Awesome. x Fri, 26 Aug 2016 09:50:00 +0100 https://energyart.uk/sacred_photography.htm https://energyart.uk/sacred_photography.htm What is sacred photography?

This is clearly Art Solutions, not "art therapy as you know it, Jim" where the experience of pain simply gets regurgitated, or the problem/s simply get re-stated, yet again and ad infinitum.  I could talk of this for hours; over to the aspect, 2003.  Thu, 12 Nov 2015 09:45:43 +0000 https://energyart.uk/vector_art.htm https://energyart.uk/vector_art.htm Is vector art art ...?

WTF is that supposed to mean, anyway? It is at best a step stone to a more grown up understanding of art in the greater scheme of things, both intrapersonally as well as interpersonally. At worst, it becomes a crazy labyrinth that causes havoc for the individuals and societies who adopt this position.

I can get very emotional about my art. Of course, I would. But some of these emotions are indicative of injuries in the energy system, and more than that.  Missing events - missing memories - might be far more to blame ...
