Jimi Hendrix is definitely one of my creative inspirations. Photography is my passion but music is definitely really something extraordinary. Using art to inspire more art :).

Also if you have some spare time, please check out my fiancee's, Sarina-Alexandria C., photostream. She's strictly a b&w film photography purists, but she's rekindled her photostream with some awesome mobile photography (thanks to her new obsession with VSCOcam).

It was 3 in the morning and I was out again heading over to J's place since my apartment got trashed by some asshole hitman. The instant I walk into his house a nasty smell I know well enough hits me at a time I want nothing to do with it. We spend the next 30 minutes cleaning up the mess J made of his attacker and lazily putting paper towels over the stains he left on the floorboards. I don't really remember what happened next. I just woke up in J's bed in the afternoon. I got into his living room and he's there with another thing I don't wanna see; Roger Fucking Haines. He was there to track the signal from the walkie-talkie I took off the assassin from last night. He asks for the walkie-talkie, calling me a schoolgirl again. I hand it to him while trying not rip his throat out. He takes it and wires it to his cellphone. He makes a call, and a familiar voice blares through the static of the walkie-talkie. Bane.
"Speak, brother. Where are you? It's been far too long, have you achieved your mission. Brother? Brother!!"
Haines disconnects the walkie-talkie from his cellphone, then throws the walkie-talkie hard against the wall, breaking it. He looks at his cellphone, and says "South Sewage Treatment" before just walking right out on us. The South Gotham Sewage Treatment plant. It's been abandoned for a while. I only know because I saw in the news that it's gonna get torn down a year in place for some more office buildings or something. J and I instantly suit up and head out. When we arrive it's...what you'd expect. Old, abandoned, and being a sewage treatment plant it smells like shit. There was a very noticeable lack of Bane and his crew, though yet alot of their equipment was still here. Weapons, body armor, medkits, all perfectly fine and left here, like they all picked up and ran, which is exactly what they did. They knew we were coming when Roger tracked that Walkie-Talkie. Goddammit.... It only got worse when we went deeper into the plant. We found and old room full of computers, some weapons like a missile launcher and....pictures. Pictures of me and J. Not just Bloodfall, but me as in Linda Tate and J as in Jerrick Davao. He really found us out all on his own. I look through the computers and it gets even worse. There's easy stuff like DMV records, but it got creepier as I dug deeper, because the pictures of me on the wall just weren't enough. There was stuff like info on J's fabricated childhood in folders alongside newspaper articles of bodies of gang members found in alleys with their pockets cleaned out, or how J really spent his childhood. Then there was rent notices for my apartment, but the dates were around the time I was staying with J because I was too scared to live alone. In the same file was another news article about the first sighting of me as Bloodfall. Worst part was these were just small examples. This guy had pictures and info on J from his time in fucking military, information that's not even supposed to exist anymore. Bane found us out fair and square, and who knows how many of his guys know, too? As of now this isn't even a war, now. This is an extermination, and Bane and his followers are the vermin. J and I leave the sewage treatment plant, but not before watching the Sky Slayer completely level it to ashes....

On the Penguin Trail City South Library Christchurch January 2021 New Zealand.
Over Term Two and Three in 2020, we had 65 schools from across the city and surrounding towns take part in the Pop Up Penguins Learning Programme. This wasn’t an easy time for students and teachers as Term Two began in the midst of New Zealand’s lockdown period! And yet, with resilience and determination, the schools signed up to take part in this citywide art project.
The Pop Up Penguins Learning Programme has been supported by an amazing line up
of organisations: the International Antarctic Centre, Antarctica New Zealand, the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs, Gateway Antarctica and the College of Education, Health and Human Development at the University of Canterbury.
The Learning Partners shared their vast knowledge and expertise within the Learning Programme resource pack and educators from International Antarctic Centre, Gateway Antarctica and the College of Education, Human Development and Health delivered a bespoke Pop Up Penguins themed presentation to over 50 of the schools registered on the Learning Programme.
Students across our city have learned about penguin conservation, Christchurch’s global significance as one of five Gateways to Antarctica and kaitiakitanga, guardianship and protection of the environment. As you find the little penguins in displays around the city, learn about the themes that inspired them.

Abandoned compression video project, 2009. Made with the help of Download Finished.
An archeology of a compression filter.
See blogpost: rosa-menkman.blogspot.com/2009/02/from-compression-artifact-to-filter.html
A couple of months ago I was approached by a company that asked me for my knowledge on glitch and compression artifacts. They were especially interested in recreating bleeding pixels. I recognized their ideas in the work of Sven Konig and send them to his website (on which in 2005 already, Sven published a script that can be used to create such artifacts). Later the company send me an email that said they unfortunately cancelled their project.
I made my own video though, and send it to Goto80, but in the end we also decided it seemed boring to just reuse a technique developed by somebody else - because it feels no longer as an experiment.
I kept track of the bleeding pixel effect and noticed its growing popularity, especially over the last few weeks. This lead me to write a small archeology of this particular compression artifact.
The bleeding pixel effect (or datamoshing) is located in a realm where compression artifacts and glitch artifacts intertwine. The artifacts caused by compression are stable, although unpredictable. Therefore, technically, they are not a glitch because the method is reproducible. They are however often perceived as a glitch (an error). The bleeding effect relies on deleting the information within one frame per 25 (more or less, depending on the frame rate) in a divx or xvid video. I think the most interesting thing about using this effect is that it shows the materiality of digital film by translating the grain of the celloid into the digital pixel.
Timeline.
I know there are more works out there, but these works seem (for different reasons) more important or referenced too.
* Sven Konig. aPpRoPiRaTe!, 2005.
Online distributed software script made to appropriate complete video files found in file sharing networks with minimal effort.
In 2007 Sven and Bitnik collaborative project Download Finished saw the light of day. Download Finished is a website that "transforms and re-publishes films from p2p networks and online archives. in Downloaf Finished, found footage becomes the rough material for the transformation machine, which translates the underlying data structure of the films onto the surface of the screen. the original images dissolve into pixels, thus making the hidden data structure visible. through Download Finished, file sharers become authors by re-interpreting their most beloved films."
* Takeshi Murata. Monster Movie, 2005. Single channel digital video on DVD 4 minutes; sound by Plate Tectonics
* Paul B. Davis (collaboration with Jacob Ciocci/PAPER RAD). “Compression Study #2”, 2007. DVD projection (edition of 7)
* David OReilly. Compression Reel, 2008. Vimeo Video
* Data Mosher. Chairlift - "Evident Utensil" Music Video, 2009. Vimeo Video
* Nabil Elderkin. KANYE WEST "Welcome To Heartbreak", 2009. Vimeo Video
Since the release of the last three videos (by O'reilly, Chairlift and Kanye), there has been a lot of back-and-forth comment-talk on who was the first to use this effect. The Kanye video will not even be released because "there is another video out there using the same effect". Even so, most of the video makes seem to be quite nice to me and didn't get me tired of the effect yet.
I think it is only a matter of time before we will see that this artifact is developped into an browser script, like we have seen with much praised image-glitch plugins and browsers like glitchbrowser (2005/2008) developed by dimitre, ant scott, iman moradi.
Then this enchanting artifact will be changed into just another default preset or cultivation.

Today was spent catching up on tasks I couldn't manage yesterday while in school. I responded to lots of work that had been submitted online, met with my colleague and worked on another of next year's knowledge organisers.
Sculpted by Lee Lawrie, the imposing low-relief panel, Wisdom, was insalled over the entrance to the main building of Rockefeller Center,30 Rockefeller Plaza. The 37 foot high art deco icon can be clearly seen from Fifth Avenue. In addition to scale, Lawrie relied on mass, color, gilding and two different materials to create his piece.
The top piece, 22'x14' of Indiana limestone, depicts a figure set at an angular slant, thrusting out towards the spectator from a vast, swelling of clouds around his naked body. With furrowed brown and golden rays crowning his head, his left hand shoves away the "clouds of ignorance" and his right clutches a golden compass theat measures the cosmic forces swirling in 15'x55 glass screen below. His long beard, symbolizing experience, is blown back by sheer force of that which surrounds him. Below the figure reads the Biblical passage,"Wisdom and Knowledge Shall Be the Stability of Thy Times" (Isaiah 33:6).
Wisdom is flanked on either side by Sound and Light, and was the first exterior piece in the Center to be painted and gilded.
German-born Lee Lawrie was well known as an architectural sculptor. His work can be found at St. Thomas Church and throughout Rockefeller Center: Winged Mercury and Heraldic Lions at the British Empire Building; Fleur-de-lis and Seeds of Good Citizenship at La Maison Française; Progress at One Rockefeller Plaza; The Story of Mankind, Saint Francis of Assisi, Swords into Plowshares, Columbia Greeting a Woman, Boatman, Fourteen coats of Arms, Corncucopia of Plenty, and most famously, Atlas at the International building.
Rockefeller Center was designated a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1985.
In 2007, Rockefeller Center was ranked #56 on the AIA 150 America's Favorite Architecture list.
Rockefeller Center National Register #87002591

Had a nice little chat with this guy who is a volunteer at Standen, a lovely National Trust house and gardens. He spotted the Rolleiflex immediately and we spoke about old cameras and film for a bit. I asked if I could take his photo from the corridor as the light was fab, as I framed up this lady walked past me and started talking to him. He gave me a look as if to say "typical", I smiled and pressed the shutter.

Hi, here is the surprise that I mentioned in my previous post.
One of the smartdoll-semireals that I like!
Monday or the other smartdoll-semireals don‘t match my taste but Knowledge and Dimension are awesome! She is very cute looks like an elf. I think she needs some cinnamon elf-ears 😂
⚠️#adbutnotpaid I do it to share my experience or because I like it.

At the Paprihaven First Christian Church,* it's been a good Bible study...
"Excellent class, brother."
"Sure was. Man. Since God opened His word to me, I can't keep up."
"Haha! Like drinking from a fire hose!"
"So much knowledge, so much truth, and all of it overwhelming."
"Boop's?"
"Let's do it."
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
