Gregory's Server@LauraKerrArt thanks for letting me know it's quiet elsewhere too - at least that means it's not broken here (I'm only here these days). And thank you for immediately posting something!

@JPK_elmediat @LauraKerrArt yes there's definitely a skew to digital art, computational and generative stuff. I enjoy that, but really love the non computer versions or early computer experiments. Like the Aaron Marcus piece I posted. I'm going raid my library tonight, to see what I can post. Also, thank you for the many interesting things you share! @Paperposts @JPK_elmediat @LauraKerrArt @Paperposts I did find myself in an instructor/introducer role once I figured out what the lay of the land was around here. :dy18: @JPK_elmediat @LauraKerrArt I’m pretty sure i mistag things all the time - always happy to get pointers and advice on the different letterform art and visual poetry genres and subgenres - #asemicwriting was a recent discovery for me @LauraKerrArt @Paperposts I find it ironic that to some degree, any form of #AnalogArt, including #ExperimentalArt, such as #MixedMedia, #CollageArt, #AsemicArt, or #VisualPoetry, is seen by the young folk as #TraditionalArt. 😂 I'm so old. :bl26: I guess that makes me #Vintage. @JPK_elmediat @Paperposts Right On! I’m old school digital. I don’t like to relinquish too much to AI…when I’ve tried to use AI it has been more as an art critic for my work-extra pair of eyes. I am not fearful of using it responsibly & I do not use Chatgpt. Generative Art is different as I make a lot of Glitch Art which has a Chance Process, so it is generative. Why can’t we explore everything responsibly. I don’t like all AI art but I don’t like all Landscape painting either.  @Paperposts @LauraKerrArt not sure if it was already mentioned in this thread so sorry if its already known. hashtags dont "pull in" posts from remote servers. Only @ groups, relays and users do. So if no one on your server is following me for instance, you will not see any posts I make even if they are hashtaged one the tags you follow. This is a major issue with the way Mastodon works and one that there are many people thinking about but its quite unsolved yet. @liaizon @Paperposts that’s why it’s hard to find people here. And really can’t be good for the Art/Poetry we post. @LauraKerrArt @Paperposts have you tried posting to Lemmy communities from Mastodon yet? it actually helps solve this a bit. @LauraKerrArt @Paperposts Lemmy is another part of the fediverse, and the way that content travels is a bit different there. So you can make a normal post on your account here and then if you mention a @community@lemmy.instance.domain then it posts your post from here over there and then all responses from there get brought back to you here if you follow the whole community here. |
@Paperposts @LauraKerrArt When I first set up my Mastodon account last year on Masto*Art, was:
1) there really wasn't a wide range of experimental #MassMediaArt ~ #CollageArt, such as #Vispo ~ #VisualPoetry, #AsemicArt ~ #AsemicWritng, #AsemicPoetry, #DadaistProsePoetry, or #CollagePoetry ~ #CollageProsePoem
and
2) Even though #Hashtags were greatly encouraged, many in #Art were using them sparingly. For example, I would see posts with collage art, asemic art, and mixed media art that were only tagged as art. 🥴
There may be similar issues on other platforms.
Have you noticed that most art seems to be digital drawing, game art? It is skewed to young folks whose art experience and background see art in this context. :skp904:
May the Art (experimental and staid) be with you. :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
