SB ALGER AKA "SEWNEO" DIGITAL ART THREAD:
I haven't made a thread of random digital art for a while. I have a "new practice", where I get stuck in my own Google Photos drive... I use a term or terms for 'search', w/ something in mind... and instead I get distracted by other things. Often times it's my own digital art:






In a 'round-a-bout' way, this thread was inspired by @aiww. He posted on Insta that his sculpture "Porcelain Cube" was smashed during a showing in Bologna. The man was arrested. he is a known "art destroyer" from Czech Republic. Ai Weiwei is also famous for destroying pots.








Ai Weiwei's cube reminds me of works by the controversial Charles Krafft. Krafft made "dissasterwear" ceramics in Dutch Delft Style. Krafft [RIP] was popular w/ collectors until it was revealed that he was a White Nationalist™ and a Conspiracy Theorist™.
Can u believe it?!




Can u believe it?!




It's unlikely that Ai Weiwei is unaware of Krafft, &--I used to TALK TO KRAFFT--(without realizing WHO he was), back in the day on Facebook.
Cuz he was friends w/ my friend @NRaapana, known for her expose of #COMMUNITARIANISM, & when I realize later, I was floored.
So it goes.

Anyways--
Back to my own works.
Search terms this time around were "monochrome pattern", (within my own google photos drive). I had searched for "black & white", a few days back, cuz somebody here on twitter made a quote tweet encouraging people to share "B&W Art".
Here's a few:

One of those above is just a regular ole photograph. No filter or settings or anything. Can you believe it?!
...anyways...
I often scroll scroll scroll to the very bottom of my search results so I can get a glimpse of the "oldest art I made" according to these search terms:

"Google Photos" now uses AI to generate what it believes to be 'best results' from your search terms. I love & hate it. So now it does NOT generate chronological results--so--my above adventure for oldest was thwarted (though the portrait is 2018), alas! try again for 'old ones':








2018, & a rare "irl" painting (incomplete of course) from 2015. Strange that the Google Photos app doesn't wanna search for "black and white". No results. Hmmph.
Do u think it's cuz the terms are nerfed to prevent racism & stuff? know it also goes blank for "fuck" or "jew".

I'll gather a few more before I press "Post all", and go do SOMETHING around the house...
More "monochrome pattern" results. "b&w" works too. Weird, right?
