* The "ArtOps" circles represent what I call "Art Operations" in a system I am developing (I'm only developing the theory for now). Basically, they represent "art practises", except that in this model, they are modelled as DAOs or "distributed autonomous organizations".
* The "broker_ops" are also DAOs, a.k.a. "Broker Operations". And it's the same for the "Art Exchange" which is just a kind of "Art Market", modelled as a kind of "Financial Exchange" if you will, also a DAO.
* Basically, you can just imagine each circle as an "automaton" or "finite state machine" or "abstract machine", if you want. The "ArtOps" machines need the "broker_ops" machines to interact with the "Exchange" machine.
* Many ArtOps interact with many brokers who interact with a single Art Exchange, at least that's as far as I've gotten for now.
* It's mostly a system I am modelling for a series of novels I'm writing. It's something that characters in the novel will be building, these interconnected systems of Distributed Autonomous Organizations.

* I just started a new series I am tentatively, unofficially calling "Whitewashed". Here is the documentation which I do via a Python program that I wrote.

Experiment: WRITING-WITHOUT-WRITING PART II (Official)

Statement of Purpose: I am investigating new possibilities in making visual representations that resemble text, or scripts, but are actually pure nonsense. The idea is to reach an inflection point or equilibrium between meaning and non-meaning, between coherence and incoherence, between sense and nonsense. (i.e. it is a form of Asemic Writing Experiment).

Procedure: What I did was recently I bought some square canvases. I have three of them. I basically wrote on them in ink and then applied a white "WASH" over them, a relatively liquefied white wash. Then I observed how it dried, moving the actual canvas around a little to make the liquefied white paint move and do interesting things.

Notes: I'm basically testing things, experimenting. No real notes to add to it for now.
