You're halfway through a breakup with a service, and they suddenly drop to one knee and offer you a 50% discount. Just be good to me from the start! Which companies make you play this game? Screenshot, because we need receipts. I'll go first. ChatGPT:

Adjusting the chroma adds more gray where normally I’d want more white. Just sayin’! Interesting execution though.

A large illuminated rectangle drenches a confined space in brilliant red hue.

Tucked away in a confined closet this installation flashed vibrant red hues, broken only occasionally by fleeting blue stripes. The name of the piece slipped my attention. #art #artclvb
