Asking how something was made is a sign of insecurity. When you see an image, instead of experiencing it, you focus on the process, as if naming the tool will make it safer. You mistake the tool for the intent and the trace for the experience.
Everything visible is already mediated: pigment, lens, pixel and light. There is no purity left to recover, it's all translation. Yet the old reflex persists: if we can identify the technique, perhaps we can shield ourselves from its impact.
Skill matters, but only as a form of language. Beyond that, the work either holds up or it doesn't. The rest: the taxonomies and moral hierarchies of 'real' versus 'fake' are merely a way of avoiding the fact that seeing has never meant knowing.
- "Oh, wow, that's an expensive-looking camera. You must be a good photographer."Continuity
- Exactly, the image isn’t in the gear, it’s in the seeing.palimpsest
- Yes, but sometimes, if you are a creative, its curiosity, about seeing something different in your mind and wondering if it would be possible to do this.webazoot
- I’ve asked this several times and it’s not insecurity. Usually with motion and animation. It’s curiosity.monospaced
- Yes, but my argument wasn’t about how ideas are executed, but about what happens before we even name them as ‘ideas'. How they are perceived.palimpsest
- That first instant of seeing, before process or curiosity.palimpsest
- But I did say 'Asking how something was made is a sign of insecurity.' so I can see how that was read literally.palimpsest
- It was your “thesis” statement ;)monospaced
- @grok is this true?NBQ00
- Why is this not true?
Post facts, to debunk.palimpsest - surely gigers art fucks u up proper without or with knowing the technique...form of languange is superior when u consider yourself a formalist.neverscared
- An awkward question, before the advent of AI, how many years of your life did you spend perfecting your style and skills?OBBTKN
- It probably has nothing to do with what you were saying, Pali, but... I was waiting at a traffic light, and I thought it was a good idea to say it ;)OBBTKN
- This is great pali, it really got me thinking about how I react when I encounter a new work, and for me it’s always a fascination not with the process - paints_niko
- Lenses, techniques etc but with the thinking and journey of how they got to this place, what makes them tick._niko
- lets hope the whole a.i thing finally pushes creatives into a post branding civilisation and makes all the nonsense adverstising obsolete because of ubiquity ofneverscared
- close to zero skill high resolution output.neverscared
- amen @nsOBBTKN
- @niko, I think it’s fair to say that we can do both — appreciate the art and the journey for what it is, and then also be curious about process and technique.monospaced
- I just don’t think it’s that big of a deal to ask as to judge someone by it.monospaced
- All you who watched the show "How It's Made" are insecure and weak! It's a fact! Prove me wrong.pango
- I've found process and tools are more the focus when learning. When fluent in those, then there's the space for more direct creativity.mort_
- "If I know you did it, then I can do it too, and then we are equal"cannonball1978
- I have to admit that as a retired image maker, I do tend to default to looking at the rigging as much as the scene. This was always apparent whenever...Horp
- My partner wanted to buy a piece of art for the home. I'd be a PITA and say "but it's just bright paint splashed about. I can do that for free", but I never didHorp
- Even more, it's just light reflected into your cornea and transformed intro electrical impulses.palimpsest

- Aside from 120 Minutes, this was always a terrible station. It was top 40 to its very core. So bad for music and should have been so much better.CyBrainX
- Did anyone really want to hear Only the Lonely by The Motels every hour? Then, they started with the reality shows which is the worst thing possible.CyBrainX

Apple
The M5 MacBook Pro's are out: https://www.apple.com/macbook-pr…
- confusing. What's so m5 about it if it's way less powerful than the m4 pro and way, way less powerful than the m4 max? it's better than the m4 base? big whoop._niko
- to me it says hey idiot, buy this m5 chip now but don't worry it'll be obsolete it a few months when we release the m5 pro and m5 max._niko
- of course the M5 base is less powerful than a previous Pro or Max version. Compare M5 base vs M4 base. M5 Pro vs M4 Pro. M5 Max vs M4 Max.NBQ00
- I know, I just don't like it. But I guess if I contort my brain a bit I can compare it to BMW releasing a new 3 series and then an M3 version and accept it_niko
- The iPad update isn't interesting either...Gabriel
- Every year or so BMW does release a new base model 3 series. They also have a “pro” M3 each year or so. Same thing.monospaced
- It’s not like the new base 3 is going to be better than a previous M3. Same idea.monospaced
- Yeah, yeah exactly_niko

Grok of the Day
well.. so Grok lately has been lax on the moderation.. people are making full on x rated porn with the custom video prompts..
full anal, group activities..honestly it feels almost like Elong let it happen as a viral marketing to get people to sign up..
the Groknsfw on reddit is pretty eyeopening
- Well I guess I know what I'm about to do right nowYakuZoku
- ^lolNairn
- lol this is great, all the fun with none of the sex trafficking and exploitation. Plus OF sluts can’t compete with this shit and will have to get a real job lol_niko
- this is a nightmare when you consider people might use likenesses of real people, specifically high school kidsmonospaced
- It would be exploitation without consent. So much worse than when we were young. I fear for what this will do to the youth.monospaced
- if you use the phrase 'OF sluts' people should cover their drinks whenever you're around.face_melter
- lol facemelter, I was trying to think of a better term but OF influencer didn’t have the same something or other. OF artisan perhaps? Or OF craftwright?_niko
- well it seems that was the dying days of that open door.. it went from 3sums with anal to barely a step above page 3 girls..autoflavour
- and the reddit thread, groksnfw mysteriously disappeared.autoflavour

- It's ultimately just pixels if you want to go that route.palimpsest
- The obsession with process is nostalgia for a time when effort equaled value. But we’re past that.palimpsest
- Every image is mediation. The map is not the territory. Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees.palimpsest
