Tubular Crystal Vortex Undulating on a Lava Sunset
Tubular Crystal Vortex Undulating on a Lava Sunset
If you could take a sharp plane to reality, would the curl look a little like that?
Is there a light at the end of the tunnel memories?
Enter flux twirl this is incredibly mesmerizing
I would dare suggest a title for this image
But I find it very interesting Planet Saturn Ring Cycle
A visual experience that we have strongly related to the two dimensionality of technical image
That looks awesome! Worm Hole Bacon z vortex {Coffee, Eggs and Wormholes}
Public Vortex? white noise Quantum Tunnel
Tunnel to My Heart Quantum Decoherence
My colon! makes me think of a guild heighliner from Dune
The act of representing as if it were three-dimensional
An astronomical “Worm Hole” comes to mynd

Homeostasis Lab
VERY excited about being selected for 2020 ARTISTS on the run on the theme of DIGITAL Decolonization as part of the Homeostasis Lab. The Lab has been going since 2013 and "is a constant and timeless “work in progress” and runs through a collaborative open-system of artists, art thinkers, museums and institutions from different places all over the world. Connected together, the immaterial consciousness helps the system to act as a repository designed for sharing the digital artistic production.
Exploring the aspect of data accumulation, we aim to create a
multi-cultural aesthetic experience, only possible through digital
media. The aesthetic environment is regulated naturally over a feedback
system that depends on receiving constant input from organic/human
artistic production, where information is always being exchanged through
its constituent elements, reaching a constantly changeable equilibrium.
This way the Lab works as a thermometer, a self-regulatory media."

Press Refresh
Very excited to be included in the Press Refresh exhibition as part of The Wrong Biennale 2019/2020! The exhibition is online here and physically at The Wrong Epicentre @ Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània CCCC in Valencia in Spain. Curator David Quiles Guillo informs me that the exhibition will continue beyond the extent of The Wrong #4. My work featured is the video/sound piece 'Interference" https://press-refresh.net/bob-georgeson
Transitory Encounter: an exploration into generative systems @ The Wrong Biennale 2019/2020
Multiple Personality
The process begins with selection of 'human' faces generated from the website This Person Does Not Exist. Built on a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) the site creates fully automated human image synthesis by endlessly generating images that look like facial portraits of human faces. My selection is largely influenced by colour preferences across the whole image.
The 'faces' are then subjected to random transformations using Decim8 (We destroy in order to create), a glitch app developed for both iOS and Android devices by Kris Collins. Different filters at different strengths are randomly generated before output. No two images are ever the same. Approximately 1 in 30 images might be saved for further use.
In a world where 'fake news', face recognition software, constant CCTV surveillance, augmented and virtual reality, deepfake deceptions, identity theft and image manipulation can blur our notion of what is ultimately 'real', net.art in the form of generative processing can also question the creative act. What ultimately matters is the end image. There is an obvious aesthetic judgement in what eventually gets exhibited, but what interests me is that the images differ from what I 'normally' would create by conscious construction. One's training in, and knowledge of the elements of design and principles of composition can at times constrict the creative process. New pathways to new territories evolve.
Information overload can blur the senses but at what point are humans still able to identify the image of a human face? How much 'decimation' has to occur before it becomes unrecognisable? Portraiture in art has always looked beyond simple identity. In conceptual art the idea of self is paramount (“I think, therefore I am (an artist)” to paraphrase Rene Descartes). In Transitory Encounters the notion of 'selfies' becomes 'otheries'. Chance encounters with generative systems leads to a new reality. The self no longer exists...

The PopGen Project
The PopGen
Project - Make the machine do the work!
PopGen is a term that refers to
population-based recruitment of patients and controls for the
analysis of complex genotype-phenotype relationships in the medical
research field. This art project paraphrases the term into a populous
aggregation of images relating to art and culture that examines how
humans interpret complex visual information when juxtaposed with
visual cliches relating to popular culture and technological change.
It uses the juxtaposition of seemingly random or opposing imagery to
create a new reality.
The base images are initially created
with net.art generator (NAG), a computer program which collects and
recombines images from the Internet to create a new image based on
search terms. These are then assembled into metamontages in
Photoshop. Clip art images with transparent backgrounds are sourced
from Pngimg.com, a free Creative Commons library and then overlayed
into the finished piece.
The PopGen Project was developed as part of my current investigations into generative systems and art. It is featured as my contribution to The Perfect Users 2019 Pavilion as part of The Wrong Biennale. I am honoured to be included among some of the best digital artists working today. The exhibition will also have a physical presence at the Anno Domini Gallery in San Jose, California next year from April 3 2020.

dadaland collective: @ The Wrong Biennale
International collective of digital
artists comes to Bega as part of global art event
dadaland collective: an international
group of digital artists coordinated by Bermagui artist Bob Georgeson
are exhibiting their work in Bega during November and December. The
collective came together in 2018 through Facebook groups to be part
of The Wrong Biennale, a global event celebrating digital culture.
The Wrong Biennale is the world's largest ever art event with nearly
2000 artists exhibiting online and at various locations around the
globe.
The 18 artists from 7 countries work
across a variety of mediums including video, sound, graphics and
performance that not only explore how technology can be used to make
art, but also how technology impacts on human interactions. Much of
the work is influenced by, or references the Internet. Glitch,
generative art, computer graphics, smartphone creations and
environments created from information all are featured.
The collective is Tim Tsang (USA), The
Implicit Order (USA), Elle Thorkveld (USA), Milica Raicevic (Serbia),
Darko Vukic (Serbia), Gabriela Green Olea (Australia), Jose Ramon
Alcala (Spain), Kerry Baldry (UK), Parch Es (Mexico), Stefan Ljumov
(Serbia), Yvana Samandova (France), Michael Szpakowski (UK), Borjan
Zarevski (France), Miloš Bojović (Serbia), Yartn Saloan (Mexico),
Systaime (France), Andrew Stys (UK), and Bob Georgeson (Australia).
The exhibition opens at midday on
Friday November 1st at Sugar Sounds in Bega with a live
performance by local duo The Sugarants. It is the first of a planned
series of art events at Sugar Sounds as an adjunct to their music
business.
The exhibition links through to The
Wrong Biennale Epicentre in Valencia in Spain. It is an exciting
opportunity to see some of the world's leading digital arts
practitioners in an intimate setting.
The exhibition runs until Saturday 14th
December. Check Sugar Sounds Facebook page for opening hours. Sugar
Sounds, 203A (upstairs) Carp St, Bega.
