Shape, Distortion and Pastels
November 6th 2006 23:02
I'll let the images speak for themselves today but I'd still like to have your comments about these and about anything else I do or have done or any requests as to colours etc.
Well, what do you think, what do you see, what do you perceive, how do you feel and won't you tell me?

I've been having trouble logging on to your site, but I wanted to comment on your art. I really like that brain puzzle. It reminds me of Christmas with the tinsel and the stained glass windows.

Glad to have your views. Just remember all the time you're helping your brain and having some fun at the same time.
great to have your visit.

Another thing they remind me of... I remember doing something like them in the context of theatrical lighting. Stage lighting uses "gels" (basically, coloured sheets of plastic, but more heat resistant than you'd find in a newsagency), and for one production the lighting designer had me stick together a bunch of overlapping gels.
I'm a bit skeptical, I have to admit, of the claims you make about it helping your brain. Will have to think more about why I'm skeptical.

It's brain exercise which is good for those neural connections, just about anything you do with your brain, over and above the usual will create different connections, all good for re-circuiting.
Computer Art is new to most people so it taxes the mind a little more and being set a puzzle taxes it again.
It all boils down to what is considered exercise for the brain, I think few could argue that what I am doing is not exercising the viewers minds and brains and encouraging them to try and thinking about it and their brain nutrition and health and having in mind computer use and development of understanding of computers is also brain exercise.
I have already documented the views from the Mayo clinic and another article concerning depression in the elderly and how that state is assisted by those who have access to computers.
Of course, the neuroscience is well established, if you want to be skeptical about that, the use of computer art could be challenged, but, as I said, who would argue that people are not using their brains, and you have already convinced me that you are using yours, and in a way that is new to you.
But, I think that the majority of people, and I do get a great number of clicks, are there because they enjoy the experience. Any side benefits they experience will be a bonus, from their point of view and I have yet to make much connection with the elderly.
Resprouting of neural connections has been demonstrated scientifically.
If you want to challenge them you're welcome but I doubt whether there are very many of those looking at my blogs, perhaps in time they will be.
You're a philosopher, haven't you heard of logic and deduction and original thought?
If we only draw on the knowledge of others we cannot move forward as well as we should
because we become dependent on their views to enable us to function, when man functioned and evolved without all the evidence you are seeking.
Here endeth the first lesson.
Shall we move on?
I like your views of my art, although you say much does not appeal, you are learning as you do it, wouldn't you agree?
But I'm always happy to be the recipient of your views when they tell me one thing and your actions tell me of another.
