Recently, I was reading about the use of Quantum Computing to create non-physical Time Crystals - which kind of reminded me of how chemists created 'new' elements last century (like Einsteinium and Rutherfordium)...
Then I was wandering around on Pinterest, and spotted this lovely gif, which was reminiscent of the way I understand 'qubits' work (as ever-changing wave functions) in a Quantum Computing system.
I'm kind of recognising how my more surrealism styled artistic expressions are perhaps one of the ways that my 'imagination' provides me with otherwise abstract or metaphorical visual patterns that my artisan skills turn into something more 'tangible' or literal pieces of art.
Not to put too finer a point on it, but: I'm creating pieces of art because I'm just trying to play with the simulated visual constructs that exist in the subconscious realms we like to call our imagination.
Unlike the act of story-telling - where there's clear order of operations to follow, as narrative structure - visual art provides a literal blank canvas for the imagination to flow as it wishes to.
As such, the only *real* limit on what can be expressed is likely tempered by the skill set of the artist in regards to the materials they are applying at the moment of inspiration.
If one just avoids the temptation to criticise what is produced (as what is art, other than expression of the Self, that others can also view, from their own awareness or lack thereof?) it's just what it is... Art.
A uniquely human effort, indeed...
