Esthetics

INTRO: A lot of this will be related to new tech in art. I am stunned by what’s happening and know it will only be happening faster. What that will do to human creativity, I don’t know. Enhance it or make it almost irrelevant.

My  Artifictionals – the fulfilling of my longtime desire to do cartooning, while no longer hindered by my inability to draw.  https://www.eideticart.com/artifictionals/

If stand-up comedy counts, check out Chris Cash. I like how he mixes liberal political humor with real-world stories.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btRgY8Yn2zI

AI videos can have such incredible detail like this one.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MSyDGNjO-A&list=RD5MSyDGNjO-A&start_radio=1

Most of the ones that pop up have a lot of sexy facsimiles of women with large cleavages. They could be addicting as men are hard-wired to be entranced by women’s forms. It is interesting that now while they have their bodies and sensual movements perfect, the faces are strange. The form is right but there is something really lacking. It’s the uncanny valley effect. I suppose they’ll solve this soon, and maybe already have. I’m sure that the porn industry will be leading the progress of this. So much for the Only Fans human women.

Meandering around YouTube under ‘dance’ brings up a lot of styles new to me. For instancehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQQBiDS5DdY

32,000 dominoes going down. The woman spent 3 months building this. I can’t imagine the concentration and coordination it takes to make something like this  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWgH0hXZKrE

The Sparkling Skin of New Life How many faces have I worn and Shed year after year? Now, a naked face stares at me As if in alien form, kind and Soft, pink as a baby’s bottom, Free of hard worn frowns and wrinkles. Smooth as silk and fresh, not raw. Ungrooved, this new skin Symbolizes new life while those other faces are At home, having done their time, served me well. Those faces grew out of need, and then wore off, Shredded by consternation and godless grief, This new skin has a sheen, hopeful And bright, innocent and no longer Searching for something else. The mouth so unfettered by stress Relaxes and elongates, while Inside the tongue drops down From the roof of my mouth and Rests comfortably.  My voice no longer Needing to shout and exclaim even though All that boisterous activity was certainly Worthwhile and worthy in its day. Peeking out from this tender, new skin, Calm eyes gaze and study the outside World, no longer as frightening and disturbing, Less impactful and difficult, more inviting. Little did I know that I have been protected Throughout time by a knowledge and A wisdom that I did not understand  –  until now. Dwelling currently in the deep expanse of the Universe, all the worlds, stars and moons, The liquids and gases, firing up then releasing, Rising up around and through me. I am part of these tingling juices, Flowing eternally with all those I have Known and not known. All one. All here. All now.
