Unacceptable. Make rain stop.

I haven't really seen xquery used since the time my former employer decided it was a good idea to write an entire CMS in it. It ended up being kind of neat but awkward as hell as soon as we tried to do anything that wasn't processing xml

"Art Innovation gallery" has been spamming at least 3 of my email addresses and my studio for years and will not stop.
No I don't want to pay you to display my art for 15 seconds on an led panel on a boat for like $1k.
Pls go away.

Seems a decent bit better but still a ways to go. Did they change the bsky compression system or something?

At this point definitely. In the "why you no work right!?" phase it was at least interesting if frustrating.

On volumetric LEDs complexity and detail often aren't necessary. The medium itself is engaging so simple patterns can do a lot. Sweeps. Took me a while to appreciate them.

(But yes we can put your logo on it from a low res png or whatever)

Yeah.. after years of resisting I'm making another attempt to expand my range (slightly). But then there's unreal, and blender, and Houdini, and notch. The greed is infinite and impossible to fulfill.

I had someone ask if I animate my face with ai (I do not)

This was supposed to be a hard edged geometric thing. It is not. #touchdesigner #tdpops

For some reason bsky utterly refused to process 3 different versions of this render on 2 different devices. So... instagram link!

As someone who stumbled through a catastrophic tiny desk concert recording I assure you not all of us deserve these things. To be fair I never claimed to know anything about audio, just made the mistake of trusting someone who said "don't worry you'll figure it out"
