syzygy 4b: an imaginary solution to a non-existent problem #synthography #art #aiart #fineart #abstract #abstractexpressionism #dada #surrealism

An arrangement of mutually incompatible forms in a two-dimensional plane suggests the simultaneous existence of opposites. A dominant white rectangle, itself containing a perfect black circle (an absolute unit of non-density), sits off-center, defying traditional balance and proportion. This central void is a "syzygy"—an unexpected alignment of shapes that creates narrative and challenges conventional logic.
Fragmented, collaged elements, perhaps machine components or architectural remnants, surround this central focus, their origin and function unknown, which is itself an "imaginary solution" to a non-existent problem. The overall composition is a "pataphor," an extended metaphor that creates its own reality independent of traditional representational stricture, using the facade of similarity as a basis for entirely new, illogical articulations. The image presents a universe supplementary to our own, one governed not by general laws but by the laws of exception and sporadic accident.

markings as found.​​​​​​​​ #synthography #art #aiart #fineart #abstract #dada #surrealism

A black and white photograph documenting markings found on a dark asphalt surface. The image shows white paint forming several distinct elements: a large curved arc spanning the upper left portion, straight linear segments creating perpendicular intersections, a circular form containing what appears to be an organic spiral object at its center, and angular directional markings on the right side of the frame. The paint exhibits deterioration with visible cracking, chipping, and areas of loss. The underlying surface shows weathering and textural variations. Dark staining and discoloration are visible across multiple areas of the pavement. The photographic angle is directly overhead, capturing approximately 4-6 feet of surface area.

Two figures, an older and a younger person, walk hand in hand down the road, their backs to the viewer. They wear dark clothing and hats, enhancing the sombre mood. To the right, a damaged house stands, partially obscured by smoke. In the background, large, mechanical tripod-like structures loom ominously amidst thick smoke and an orange glow, suggesting a fire. The sky is overcast, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

"autochrome, the war of the worlds, wreckage" #AIArt #midjourney #synthography

The image depicts a vast, desolate landscape dominated by the wreckage of large, dome-like structures overturned on the ground. These structures appear to have multiple legs stretching out, made of long metallic beams entangled with wires, lending a chaotic appearance. The foreground features muddy and uneven terrain with scattered debris, including wooden planks and metallic fragments. Two individuals stand on the damaged ground, looking towards the wreckage, adding a sense of scale to the massive fallen structures. The background is obscured by a foggy, overcast sky, enhancing the sense of destruction and abandonment.

"autochrome, the war of the worlds, dead london" #AIArt #midjourney #synthography

The image depicts a city street scene with an eerie, surreal atmosphere. Tall, dark buildings on both sides create a narrow urban canyon, leading the eye towards the background. In the foreground, a person on a bicycle and several pedestrians are visible, silhouetted against the light filtering through the misty street. Overhead, a large, menacing, jellyfish-like shape hovers in the sky, lit from within with a warm, glowing orange hue. Its tentacle-like extensions reach downward, creating an ominous presence above the city. The scene is shrouded in a smoky, textured atmosphere, adding to the sense of mystery and unease.
