Test Tossed Ur Om
Last in the series of explorations into a contemporary use of Dada aesthetics, ideas and method, all on a digital platform. Why do this? It's a balance thing. AI is all the rage now and it's providing some stunning images but I still haven't warmed to the idea of creating visual images solely or mostly through words and algorithms. Chance, accident and intuition are a good balance to this and always a solution when the left brain dominates.
Logo-centricity has been declared a "Male" attribute. But I quietly question that. So here I punned on the word 'testosterone" as I put together a very 'masculine' image. Male faces, maps, cars, words and numbers ...

Zoom in for a more immersive view.
All images were taken by me and cropped or manipulated as independent pieces. They were randomly pulled from my archives and collaged here in a single piece.
In "The Kreative People" group's collage challenge.

Musci Link: "Aladdin Sane" - David Bowie, from his album "Aladdin Sane". I'm suggesting this song as a loose companion to my visual piece largely because of the rather masculine tone and theme to the song but mostly for Mike Garson's unbelievably complex and completely wild, improvised piano solo. There's years of training in many musical fields behind his solo but it comes out in a furious and deliciously disorienting flurry of notes. Some of the most daring and definition-shattering piano work I've ever heard.
