I hadn’t felt inspired in terms of my art for quite some weeks really.

This artwork idea became a mindful thought earlier this morning (24th November). Although to produce a work referencing the word “ziggurat” was actually something I wanted to do months ago.

With my inspiration this morning I began constructing the artwork on a canvas in my mind. Linking ‘ziggurat’ with ‘mechanotide’ and asking a question..

.. Which effect is most damaging to the Earth?

An hour later or so I recorded a few words. Me personally saying [precisely and slowly] “mechanotide ziggurat differention“

Here is a computer generated version for you to listen to:

Now let’s take a look at my B&W Monochrome edition:

B&W Monochrome is best viewed full screen to get a sense of all the words.

Next is my own exact one-take spontaneous vocal recording, no alteration to my vocals. I did not preconceive any idea to produce a vocal artwork with this recording.

Just me formulating artistic ideas ready to produce a [digital] canvas later in the day [best with good headphones or music speakers 🎧🔉]:

[available upon request]

My last edition (of the three) is the SolarScape shown immediately below:

The colours art so cool in this I think, do you? Again, viewing full screen reveals the words much more clearly of course.

Returning to my vocals, I spontaneously say the word ‘differention’, as there is no such word in the English language to my knowledge. I believe I am somehow inspired by the Basquiat use of misspelt linguistics having viewed a (previously unseen) specific work of Jean-Michel online the day before.

Intriguing.

For my digital artwork I chose “differentiation” to create lyrical contrast. I feel “differention” became an artwork of itself in the vocals rather than on my digital canvas. I didn’t try to produce a lyrical performance even though I speak with artistically unintended melancholic verbalisation due entirely to the subject matter [of mechanotide].

My human vocal recording was 100% produced to ensure I formulated good ideas for my canvas artwork.

I digitally inserted ”evil mechanotide #2“ [digital Art, 17th November 2023] into ”subcutaneous differentiation mechanotide“ [24th November 2023] for speed of working, whilst also since I love the mouse written style of ‘MECHANOTIDE’ in that work.

”evil mechanotide #2“ [digital Art, 17th November 2023] is an exact digital inclusion from ”evil mechanotide“ [digital Art, 8th October 2023].

Here is the inserted art in a macro image:

This is edited in these newer mechanotide versions with corresponding colours and/or textures added using a digital painting package.

The word ‘subcutaneous’ was an instant idea whilst I was digitally drawing.

Here is a Youtube version of my artwork with images and words by a popular Text-to-Speech service:

For myself as a person I perceive a vast plethora of content from within my complex layers of ideas, as Basquiat did throughout his incredible artworks.

I am interested to know which of these three digital editions you like the most.
