“Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” ― Roald Dahl Visual magician in residence under a blue sky.
“What art seeks to disturb is monotony of type, slavery of custom, tyranny of habit, and the reduction of man to the level of a machine.”
― Oscar Wilde
“Don’t only practice your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.”
― Ludwig van Beethoven

Art:
"Although aesthetic experiences are frequent in modern life, there is as of yet no scientifically comprehensive theory that explains what psychologically constitutes such experiences (but) are particularly interesting because of...the possibility to provide self-rewarding cognitive operations."
Since the most ancient of times, there has been the impulse by bipeds of various (current) classifications to make marks, recording mysteries: marks of power to claim authorship of selves and territories, marks that define a sense of conceptualization that other creatures seem bereft.

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone riding solo this year.
No human partner?
No problem.
My #bicycle has really been my bestie - over every hill, through headwinds, and heartbreak.
We are celebrating with roses, candles, and a quiet cuppa — spending V-Day with my faithful, true love (sorry, humans).
“Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality.”

“I am a dreamer. I know so little of real life that I just can’t help re-living such moments as these in my dreams for such moments are something I have very rarely experienced.”

the colors of Fall

as days grow short
long nights begin.
colder winds howl
through soon nude
limbs reaching,
leaves leaving,
out on the prowl.

#Bluesky has problems with creating a video splashscreen, or thumbnail. It leaves a black mystery.
So, this is only for the curious.
Why?
Art is important because it promotes creativity, self-expression, and emotional connections, helping individuals understand themselves and others better.
Art also plays a vital role in cultural discussions and can inspire changes within society.
#Art is the original, lasting form of expression.
arteries and veins,
trees and shadows,
lungs and tree branches,
veins on leaves,
all exhibit
similarities.
The origin
and path
of rivers
(seen from above)
makes the mind
realize
a plan
of complements,
a connaturality-
only seen by humans
recently.

There really is so much incredible #music to experience.
The problem is that much of it lives and dies in obscurity.
That seems a huge travesty, one that should not go unaddressed.
This is a "Painting" of a performance, saving great stuff from the dustbin of history.

“While the authority of the doctor or plumber is never questioned, everyone deems himself a good judge and an adequate arbiter of what a work of art should be and how it should be done. It's therefore a risky and unfeeling act to send it out into the world.”
―― Mark Rothko

Strife is no way good way to live a life.
In a tumultuous world filled with turmoil, a sanctuary from the storm is a welcome relief.
#Music is a proven refuge.
Super songs and prime performances have no "best by" or expiration dates.

Where the dear and the antelope play
Why use #Rumble?
On August 24, the BBC reported about the abuse and illegal use of AI on content creators’ videos by Youtube.
In recent months, #YouTube has also secretly used artificial intelligence (AI) to manipulate people’s videos without letting them know or asking permission.
How outrageous.
Creating in art for art’s sake while spiriting a viewer away from humdrum realities of the everyday tediums is a fulfilling endeavor.
Art can be an existential exploration of the essence of what it means to be a conceptually capable being.
Imagination, creativity and interpretation of life is human.
Abstract art is a form of #art that does not aim to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors and forms to create compositions that may exist independently from real-world references allowing for a range of interpretations and emotional responses from viewers.
Could there be DNA for creativity?
Throughout the history of bipedal humanoids there seems to be a genetic disposition to make representations of imaginings, the earliest being abstractive in nature.
Art may be as integral to a human as are blood and bones and often lasts longer.
Art defines humans.

“The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.”

“Disbelief in magic can force a poor soul into believing in government and business.”
― Tom Robbins
The entire universe, every aspect of creation, is magical - except in dark corners of lost belief.
"Life is an effort to grip before they slip through one's fingers and slide into oblivion, the #startling, the ghastly or the blindingly #exquisite fish of the #imagination before they whip away on the endless current and are lost for ever in oblivion's black ocean.”

#Cristo - self portrait
Got me a git box
and on it I play,
sometimes all night
or
through the dang day.
Got me a git box
it's a trusty ol' friend,
plucking dem strings
making notes truly bend,
loving da joy it brings.
it a rugged, beat-up thing
makes me so darn happy,
sometimes I even sing.

Art for Good
A large study of stage III colon cancer patients showed that regular aerobic exercise, like #cycling, reduced cancer recurrence by 28% and deaths by 37% over eight years.
Cycling was a recommended activity in the study’s program.
Sometimes devoting one's creative abilities is critical.
Stretched on a couch, handed a large panel and a soft voice requested, "what do you see?"
Staring intently, a rush of considerations flooded the mind.
It seemed as though there was a sense of time travel, skipping, jumping, hither and yon, in an encyclopedia of existential moments, past and distant.

“On the level below the strings, the smallest immaterial “particles” (“waves”) reach the "absolute speed." Based on this, the smallest and undetectable “particles” (“waves”) are everywhere, micro and macro, since they are fundamental and indivisible.”

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

“The Seven Social Sins are:
Wealth without work.
Pleasure without conscience.
Knowledge without character.
Commerce without morality.
Science without humanity.
Worship without sacrifice.
Politics without principle."

“That’s been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”
