Did you ever notice that the colors of the ferry boats on Seven Seas Lagoon are similar to those of the Grand Floridian? Coincidence or part of a master plan?

The Mirror of Echoing Dread is a mirror within a mirror — a cursed construct of recursive fear. Its twisted gothic frame devours the boundary between what you see and what is watching you. At its heart, a demon-skull reflection flickers with bloodred eyes, cracked by time and screaming in silence. It is not merely a reflection — it is a question returned.

 

![](/mnt/data/Mirror of Echoing Dread (Echo of the Cracked First Light).png)

 

Location: Submerged chamber within the Mire of Mirrors, deeper than memory can follow.

 

Power: Flickers between reflections of life, death, and what lies in between. Each gaze shows a version of you buried in guilt or glory — the viewer must choose which to remember.

 

Visual Description: A blackened, rune-etched mirror ringed with spiraling bone tendrils. Its face is constantly shifting, as though it rejects being one thing for too long.

 

Lore: Believed to have formed from the shards left behind by the Mirror of Shattered Dreams. Its visions are dangerous: not because they lie — but because they offer truth with too many answers.

 

“The Mire Mirror does not break you. It lets you see just enough to wonder if you already were.”

It's been a while since I uploaded any of my mosaic portraits, or blended portraits, so I thought I'd give a little poek of what I've been working on. One very good friend from long ago, a dear friend and current roommate, and of course, my indefatigable nieces.

It was #kubkar week with the @6thdundasscouts this week with Max’s racer, and Jack’s “Kubkeption” Kar featuring a race track design, on which a race track Kub Kar is racing! Thanks to Grandpa and Mom for their contributions! #recursive #scoutsdostuff

Generative art experiment using the Flash ActionScript 3.

Ours has been a project to keep 2.417 quintillion angels on the head of a pin. We have been inspired by repeating geometries and nested calligraphies of Islamic art to demonstrate a similarly recursive scheme for DNA information-keeping. DNA molecules having 3 base-pairs or more simultaneously hold 3 unique numbers, and a coding strategy based on these numbers combines several different layers of informational symmetry. Our example is a molecule holding multiple encodings of “Subhan Allah” (سبحان الله ), an Arabic phrase said to have been repeated for more than 1000 years as an invocation associated with creating angels. Tradition holds that any number of angels can be generated in this way and that it makes no difference whether the phrase is spoken, written, or caused to be printed. Using technology to reliably synthesize DNA, we created iterations of “Subhan Allah” in astronomical numbers of DNA molecules to show that symbolism about changing the demographic of heaven can be elegantly aligned with capabilities for high density information storage in DNA. Each of our encoded DNA molecules contain 19.5 repeats of “Subhan Allah” so that a 1mm layer of DNA on the 0.75mm head of an average straight pin can hold over two hundred million billion angels. We hope our gesture of generating so many angels may provide comfort in times of a pandemic that has claimed millions of lives. This has been an exercise in bridge building, between art, mathematics, science, and spirituality across multiple expressions. We see humanity as one tribe, confronting the chaotic forces of nature, the accumulating toll of human impacts on our shared environment, and the problematic nature of our “best intentions,” behind which all too often lurk the terribly violent and destructive impulses that have shaped human history.

Oooh. Aaaah.

 

The jellyfish are a crowd pleaser and one of the favorites of my children and I. We went to the Aquarium to see the Wild About Otters exhibit and to see the Great White Shark they have in captivity in the Outer Bay exhibit. Otters are way too cute to be legal.

 

See the woman up front with the camera phone. Wouldn't it be cool if we got a bunch of people with camera phones arranged in a circle so that each person could get a photo of the camera screen in front. It would be like a recursive picture.

Recursive Truth was shown in the course of Electronic Theathre in Deep Space 8K.

 

Recursive Truth is a video work based on generative AI and programming imaging research; using video game mods, OPENCV (facial recognition and motion tracking libraries), and deep fakes to explore loss, memory, and truth as a medium. Bugs created inside the work expose the fragility of memory and ultimately either destroy the video game or function only as visual gags.

Recursive Truth is a looping video that runs at 2:55, however, the piece is meant to play on loop—every cycle tends to reveal new connections between the collaged material.

Experiment using golden ratio and recursive methods

Harry was a reluctant model.

 

The Droste effect, known in art as an example of mise en abyme, is the effect of a picture recursively appearing within itself, in a place where a similar picture would realistically be expected to appear. This produces a loop which in theory could go on forever, but in practice only continues as far as the image's resolution allows.

#Trump as #Selfie

Art Series by @oligoldsmith

 

I am sharing this body of work under creative commons - feel free to use as is or to further remix etc. with attribution as dofollow hyperlink to to my website (oligoldsmith.com)

 

November 2016

 

Experiments with depictions of 2016 American political leaders - Donald Trump primarily and Hillary Clinton by Artist Oli Goldsmith (oligoldsmith.com/). Most resulting images surround depicting Trump, via digital processing methods similar to 'PhotoMosaic' techniques - as groups of imagery scraped from the web relating to the #Selfie genre of self-portrait snapshot popularized on social media and Instagram.

 

Other images play with #Trump as #Clinton as #Trump - involving recursive levels of initially producing a selection of images of Clinton made of Trump images, then used as foundation to build new Trump representation.

 

I will for now at least leave any interpretation of imagery as far as implied meanings etc. to viewer.

 

I typically lean away from overtly political, heavy-handed 'i mean this you must know and should think so too if possible' messaging in my work. While some of the pieces in this body of experimental digital artworks tend toward a fairly simple reading (yes I am suggesting there may be very little actual difference in meaningful outcomes between candidates in #trump as #clinton as #trump recursive mashups!) hopefully the oddness of the imagery itself and range of #SELFIE related and actual selfie images blend in these pictures in unexpected, possibly awkward ideally non-boring ways!

 

My work tends towards ambiguous and surrealistic compositions that consciously invite viewers to collaborate in exploring my pictures.

Talk:Recursive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Alright, whose sick joke is it to redirect Recursive to Recursive?

 

Fixed... but it's a bit of an in-joke hehe

 

Here I have taken a photo with my smart phone (Galaxy SII) of my wristwatch (Adee Kaye) and then in Adobe PhotoShop CS4 within Pixel Bender (a plugin) applied the Droste effect. The Droste effect is the outcome of a picture appearing within itself, where the appearance is repetitive (i.e., the smaller version contains an even smaller version of the picture), or what some refer to as recursive.

 

Keywords: Digital Darkroom, Elements of Design, and USA.

 

Functions for operating on Half-Edge Meshes including variable offset, shortest distance, and random walk.

Edsger Wybe Dijkstra 对,就是E.W. Dijkstra. 一提到EWD,很多人就会想起找最短路径的Dijkstra Algorithm,就好像一提到Sir. Tony Hoare,就想起Quick Sort一样。其实这些个算法不过是两个牛人在他们职业生涯中最琐碎的贡献。比如Dijkstra算法,无非是戴爷爷在1956年为了展示新计算机 ARMAC的计算能力,初试身手的成果,属于他的算法处女作。据戴爷爷自述,他搞出最短路径算法的时候连纸笔都没用。当时他和他老婆在阿姆斯特丹一家咖啡厅的阳台上晒太阳喝咖啡,突然就把这个算法想出来乐。而且当时的算法研究还比较原始,牛人们忙着用计算机搞数值计算,对离散算法不屑一顾。那时连一个象样的专注于离散算法的专业期刊都没有。戴爷爷于是推迟发表这个算法。直到1959年,他才把这个算法发表在Numerische Mathematik的创刊号上,权为捧场。:-) EWD在多个领域牛气冲天,端的是理论和编程两手硬的高手。只不过他的很多工作比较深刻,学校的老先生们觉得本科生接受不了,不给本科生讲而已。戴爷爷大概因为最短路径算法一战成名,于是有人请他参加另一台计算机X1的设计工作,并且把设计实时中断系统的任务派给了他。现在看来实时中断也许不算什么,但要知到,X1前根本就没有实时中断的概念。实现它简直就是一场豪赌。戴爷爷起初还不情愿,但经不住项目负责人Bram和Carel的轮番“吹捧”:我们知道实时中断让您工作变得非常困难,但象您这样的牛人肯定能做出来的说。结果戴爷爷被糖衣炮弹彻底击穿,接下了这个烫手山芋。两三年后,他不仅搞出了实时中断,还围绕这个写出了自己的博士论文,顺利戴上博士帽。让戴爷爷真正成名立万的还是在X1上开发的Algo60,最早的高级语言之一。戴爷爷没日没夜地工作了8个月,就搞出了Algo60,也因此获得了1972年的图灵奖。因为Algo60,戴爷爷发表了一篇石破天惊的文章:Recursive Programming,于是人们才知道,原来高级语言也可以高效地实现递归,原来从此以后,所有程序员都不可避免地和戴爷爷发明的一个词(应该说是概念)打交道:堆栈。而且Algo60还让戴爷爷深入地思考多道程序设计的问题,最终发明了每个系统程序员都绕不开的概念:semaphore。当然,戴爷爷总是把他发明的概念严格形式化,极具科学家本色的说。和这些成就想比,他提出的吃饭的哲学家问题,也就没什么好说的了。说来好笑,当时的大学(忘了哪所了)还是觉得戴爷爷没有受过正统的数学训练,也不是专门搞数值分析的,所以最后不太情愿地给了他一个教职。这种小挫折并不能妨碍象戴爷爷这样的牛人创造历史。他一边教数值分析(:-D),一边开始开发一个新的操作系统,并培养计算机科学家。几年后,THE Multiprogramming System横空出世。THE是第一个支持松散耦合,显式同步的进程并由此使得严格证明系统没有死锁变得容易的操作系统。可惜戴爷爷任职的系不识货,还强行解散了他的研究小组(1972年戴爷爷给他的系主任说他得了图灵奖,系主任的第一反应是你们搞计算机就喜欢乱发奖)。这让戴爷爷相当郁闷,得了抑郁症。在极度郁闷之中,戴爷爷决定用写作来治疗自己的抑郁症。于是经典就诞生乐:Notes on Structured Programming。戴爷爷从此被尊为结构化编程的奠基人,而且他的抑郁症也被治好乐。EWD太牛,结果他的故事也太多。先到这里吧。1973起,他的故事就在美国发生了。
