"Écrasez l'infâme" - to quote Voltaire





Well, everybody is all a-twitter about the implications of

face manipulation.  Moreover it's a program by a Russian firm:

FaceApp inspired, no doubt, by the melt down from the Chernobil accident.

This clearly does not concern our president (also known as our "Moskau Mule")

I wonder why that is !?!


      

Leading to AssApp, no?where you will be the ass!          


So, we're going into space to make a even more costly mess out there?         

To boldly mess where noone messed before?!

    single pixel compression




Leading to:


Lossless compression is (as in JPGXS) finally making its inroads,

Our research branch has come up with such an algorythm whereby
we compress an entire painting into a single pixel. The decompression
algorithm is unfortionately still underfunded and it needs to be
further resolved. Donations toward this goal are gladly accepted.

Meanwhile your compressed copy of your favorite artist's painting
may be purchesed for $75.-/ 8x10, Including shipping.
(Actual frame design may vary.)

Musings from the art history department at delARTe.com:                            

  


.                                             a better rendition   St. Stephan

           

Answering the Question:    "Why is the cross on the crown at a tilt?         

Talking about the holy crown of St. Istvan:                                

After reading several thousands of words written by the supposed experts,       

I found that all participants basically conclude and agree upon         

that they don’t know why the cross on top of the Hungarian crown is tilted.       

Given the state of the art I too would like to add my theory to the fray:        

The cross is seated on the top of the crown by design         

(which appears to be verified by various scientific examinations).       

I therefore submit that the notion of putting the cross at an angle       

harkens back to an eastern European and Mideastern         

 concept, where the display of perfection is considered blasphemous       

and therefore a deliberate flaw must be inserted to a display, humble       

deference to a higher authority for whom perfection is reserved.       

 The wearer of the crown with the tilted cross humbly       

defers perfection to a yet higher authority, namely to  God.

The trouble with Art vs. Art History:        

(Art history vs Art, vs the Museum.)        

 

You and many others have often wondered why there is so much “crap”      

on the walls of museums you have visited, leaving you wanting for better quality       

to meet your expectations. Well, this might be an explanation of how this perception,      

that is vexing so many of us, came to be:  Much of what hangs on museum walls       

is not necessarily good art, but is, more often than not, simply part of Art History.        

E.g.: the evolution of artistic expression. As such it reveals the development of an       

 artist’s progress and very often reveals what the museum can afford to purchase        

of an artist’s legacy. It would be silly to assume that every artist has fully worked       

at the peak of their  artistic achivements throughout their carrier.         

Only the mediocre work at their full peak of performance at all times!       

Much of what constitutes an artist’s oeuvre is the struggle for surmounting       

his or her conceptual difficulties and developing the skills required to make a        

satisfactory whole of what plagues his or her mind and to bring the final        

results to the appreciation of an audience.         




                                                                                   too much booze?


Much of what is done is part of an evolutionary process in the struggle for achiving a desired result.
