Unexpected
by QuigiI noticed a crystal beginning to form on a wick, so I put it under a U.V. spotlight and took some macros. The only manipulation of this shot is severe colour correction since U.V. shows as a reddish/purple hue on everything.

A spark ignites within my brain / It quickly joins some others / They fly across my mind’s domain / The fire that cooks my druthers This simple act I call my thought / Glows within me like hot coals / My mind from which it has been wrought / May very well be my soul / / A fractal artwork inspired by the process of thought. Our thoughts are the organically generated electrical currents that ceaselessly swarm through our brains. Thought determines who and what we are, as without them we would merely be lifeless blobs of tissue and bone. Does this mean that our thoughts are actually what we call our ‘soul’? / / It brings to mind the old philosophical and quantum mechanics debates, about whether our minds actually create the reality we live in, or if our minds merely observe the reality around us. We are but infants in our quests to understand thought and the mind, and we will never understand even a fraction of the power it holds in the overall design of the cosmos. / / Now just ‘think’ about all that if you will! /

I dream in color, yes I do / My sleeping eyes enjoy the view / Subconscious mind sees every hue / Neons to pastels imbue / / Even during the darkest night / When eyes slumber after day’s sight / My dreams illuminate with light / And not just that of black and white / / I know that artists will agree / That black and white is density / Combines with colors that we see / To give us shades on color’s tree / / This fractal artwork was inspired by ongoing studies about whether we dream in color or black and white. The latest scientific study that I have read proved very interesting in it’s findings. Apparently whether we dream in color or black and white is due to cultural influences in the society that we live in. I have provided a link to the final paper on this study below, as it is quite fascinating in scope and I would encourage the curious to review it. I know that I dream in color most of the time… How about you?! / / Do We Dream in Color? – Cultural Variations and Skepticism / http://www.faculty.ucr.edu/~eschwitz/SchwitzPapers/DreamChina051031.htm / / The original is 3000×2400 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. The fractal gradient was created with ApoMap, a gradient editor commonly used with Apophysis. The fractal was created as a transparency so it could be layered over the background. The background gradient was created in Photoshop, and the post-processing of layers was also done in Photoshop. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / /

Keeper of time, his task to slice / Through time and space with no device / Move men and ships with cosmic splice / Using melange, the precious spice / / Melange born of the worms in sand / Their home, Arrakis desert land / Where Fremen tribes do make their stand / Protect this spice from evil band / / This fractal artwork was inspired by the 1965 classic science-fiction novel, ‘Dune’ by Frank Herbert. This is the first instance that I can think of where the concept of ‘folding’ time and space for space travel is imagined. In the novel, creatures called ‘Navigators’ are able to use a spice called ‘Melange’ to enable space travel by folding space. / / This is my abstract portrayal of what a Navigator would be. The Navigator has infinite portals within him that connect all points of time and space. His container of the spice Melange lays at his feet. / / The large sand dunes near the coastal town of Florence, Oregon ( close to where I live ) served as the original inspiration to Frank Herbert for the Dune saga novels. I always thought it was really cool that his inspiration came from my neck of the woods. I have always loved this book since the first time I read it as a young boy, so here is a little tribute to Frank for the wondrous adventure he sent me on during that time. / / The original is 4800×6400 pixels at 300 pixels per inch. It was created in Sterling2, a freeware fractal application. Because the original is so large and difficult to see over the internet, I have included a couple of detail cutaways below. / / / / / /

Everything you will ever need to know about emotions, but are so afraid to ask… our scientists will tell you. Now you can set yourself free! Can’t forget what one sober Harvard University professor once said while drunk: / Man, know thyself… just ask one of us! / —-—— / This is part three of the trilogy of Emotions explained by science.

As I made my ( transitional ) drive from my future back to my past today, I listened to the Alien sounds of the album Oxygene. / From the master himself, Jean Michel Jarre. It is a sound for Earthly ears, with a message from the cosmos, to me its about the search for a new home on another world by a race that as destroyed the one they were given.The search is long and time passes slowly, the new worlds must have the thing we as a species need “Oxygene” / So their search across space may go on for eternity, for they say ” you can never go home again”. / And even when you find that other world, it still is not “home”. So I suppose MY message is…........... ’ Think about what we as a race are doing to our home world, do we really want to have to travel the stars for all eternity, searching for something we already have?................think! I wanted to create an image of what their home world was like before its destruction.So I created this one and called it “Oxygene”

Here’s the Marble that will roll into the Center of Time and try to knock us all out. It’ll tumble toward Infinity and then stop. Just like that. Maybe we’ll be in its path and maybe we won’t.

As we look at the scene before us, we see many lights in the sky. / And since man first walked upon this Earth, he as always wondered what they were, those lights in the night sky. / Has he became more aware through technological advances, he sort of understood what they could be. / And even to this day he still wonders, what hides in the great blue yonder. It draws us forever to explore the vast unseen, we know the substance of it, its there before our eyes. / But what do those lights in the sky really hide from our eyes. They hide the….... Substance – of things not seen This is my entry into the challenge ” The Substance of things not seen” And of course for me it would be about the void beyond this Earth.

In the far northern hemisphere of Saturn’s moon Titan, lies the future city of Ringsview. I say future city because this will not be built until man decides there is more to life than this small planet. That beyond our atmosphere lies our future Of course to do that, humanity as first to put an end to war, and step into the future with one mind, as one people. / To take the human race to the stars, to explore the lights we have looked at in the heavens for thousands of years.

ART
by AlienVisitorArt over the centuries as boldly gone where no art as gone before! Art as evolved with leaps and bounds, it as crossed a great many mediums. And it had to happen, here we have the planet Epsilon-Epsilon. The planet was purchased by one individual for the sole purpose of creating a work of art. The planet as thousands of cities and towns, all built as different architectual art forms, they are not populated, in fact there are no beings that live on the whole planet. / There is a reception center on the largest moon, the “tours” can take anywhere from 1 to 10 years to complete. The artist know as *Alienvisitor plans to purchase the entire solar system and all 13 of its planets, so one day the system itself will become the art form. This is but a small sample of said art…...the city of Flight, the architecture here is based on but not exact of his *Cities in Flight Series. Featured in Images & Ideas Group 25/07/09
