AI image generators

231129

Here comes another opinion on using or not these generators, but most importantly, on how we should take advantage of them. Nevertheless, I’m still struggling to create a solid opinion, so hopefully, this text helps position me better and clarify my thoughts.

First and sadly, I support the current overall rejection as the main use is focused on lazy replicating rather than creating. The widespread use of these generators is horrendous in both ethical and aesthetic terms.

Let’s go for the big ‘buts’.

ZineFest at Subaermarkt

I visited for the first time this sweet fest at Subaemarkt where artists and illustrators show and sell their gems.

This is my loot; a magazine, some cool illustrations and toon of stickers. I will definetily keep an eye on it for further editions.

Just a blooper from a quick thing for testing the Blender-Unity workflow without exporting to .fbx. Please continue, nothing to see here.

Les Conches and Glaas and Atlanta

230130

Finished Atlanta season 4 and enjoyed it a lot. It keeps the surealism of the previous seasons and the atmosphere puts me on a dreamy mood which I love.

˙

Les Conches Velaques have a new album and you should listen if you are looking for an honest approach to arab-copla-postrock vibes.

Playing: Outer Wilds.

Philharmonie and my new guitar

The interior of the Philharmonie building looks like a spaceship from the 50s. We sit at the back, because is way cheaper cooler.

I received my new guitar; an awesome Epiphone SG Special P-90 Faded Pelham Blue AUS. Now I just need, you know, something to plug it into :_)

˙

Reading: Hail Mary.

Flaaryr and the loosers

I discovered Flaaryr↗ and his previous band, Hungría↗ His setup is quite nice, make sure to check his social media for a deeper look at the equipment he has to achieve the alien noises he creates.

On Friday we went to SO36 and saw Die Vierlierer, which was quite cool and crowded. The djs afterwards, a couple throwing german 80s postpunk awesonenes were incredibly good.
