* I've made several new attempts at creating a visual art ("design") that could eventually be done entirely by computer, in an automated manner.
* I'm also looking closely at my documentation methods, trying to improve my record-keeping in general. The goal of that is to have a body of work of documented methods, processes, techniques, methodologies, etc.
* The goal in that is to make my work "reproducible". Since my work is mostly "experimental", I want others to be able to reproduce the "experiments".

* So I made several other ventures into the realm of Generative Art / Procedural Generation. I'm not sure where I'm going with this right now, but I know it is amazing work that I am doing. Let me lead you directly to my latest entry into the Laboratory Notebook:

* Another snippet from the 29th of December, 2014, before the one I posted above. This shows that I have been working on surface and with surfaces for a long time. I will be writing more about my "delta-workspace" theory, which is essentially the formal study of the continuously changing 3D workspace of the art studio/sound design + research abloratory. These early pieces of documentation will be used in the creation of new ones, as this is a "hyperreflexive" design practice.

* I will also be writing a lot about my new "Unified Field Theory of Experience", which has a lot to do with me navigating the 3D workspace and lifespace that I inhabit every day (see: concept of "habitance").

* The idea is to paint a surface, a canvas in this case, with a treatment that makes it look like it could be an old wall with flaking paint.
* The concept is that this is something we see in everyday life, concrete walls or things of the sort that are "aged" or "used", i.e. have fallen victim to "wear & tear".
* Now, it is my contention that what we call "Patina" in the arts, is precisely this "wear & tear", that is, the visible "effects" of it.
* My idea was to paint what looked like "Old Surfaces", whatever that means.

* Here is a digital example of something I made last August, 2014.

* Here we can see the "Texture" of which I speak, the "Texture of Old Surfaces".

* It looks like it might be an old piece of cloth or something.

* The general idea in this series of experiments is to try to UNDERSTAND HISTORY. I want to grasp WHAT HISTORY IS, what it is that makes things look old, what it means to be old & withered and tearing at the seams. I want to study HOW PATINA WORKS and how it GIVES VALUES TO THINGS.

* As they say, All solid things turn to air. I just want to understand the underlying processes involved.

* More to come.. I am just getting started, with the official relaunch of the "ANTILOG" circa 2026.
