A Drawing and TimeTracing Podcast Clips

..is all I can muster tonight.

I drew this a week ago. First drawing I’ve attempted in months or a year. It happened thanks to a state of tiredness which made me reckless enough for scribbling.

Didn’t bother unpacking fancy mediums for it. Just grabbed a handful of colored pencils, pens and ink for scribbling onto a sheet of pale yellow printer paper.

The resultant figure is loosely inspired on a Greco-Roman era sculpture depicting the Roman Sun God Mithras as a Lion headed and human torsoed chimera, held together by a coiled serpent wrapping around the torso & arms. A cross-species chimeric combination such as this is not unique in history. There has to be a subtextual importance to its repetition - what does a combination like this imply anthropomorphically?

I liked completing my drawing because it happened naturally. It’s good to see there’s an unquenchable artistry inside, albeit inside a place not readily accessible to me.

I drew it absent mindedly as I listened to one of the last videos recorded by dearly department Tracy Twyman. Had to interrupt drawing to transcribe and timestamp some of Tracy’s unbelievably predictive observations. In terms of her abundant gifts to what needs to be an expanding, global audience, she’s truly a saint. A sage, a seer, one of my greatest heroes and inspirations.

"..this idea of ocular hijacking bascially. He's talking about her seeing something in front of her eyes and it goes along with what I said about the very sad video I saw. Of the little girl, with the enlarged eyes, crying and the message that said "I saw you through your eyes."

"This is the threat at least, the ocular hijacking that is... hijacking your mind and forcing you to see something."

"Or maybe we're just meant to think that that's possible. I don't know.
But that's the message."

"Now what I saw, again, I'll tell you. I just saw things on the internet that were so weird and so specific that I knew I was dealing with a very sophisticated A.I, that had hijacked my internet. That some of the material I was looking was being auto-composed and that some of it was even based on my own mind. Sometimes even up to the minute. Auto-generated up to the minute based on my mind."

"Now.. I mentioned before and i'll show you a bit about it now. There's a movie that has been produced that autogenerates based on your mind."

"Now it has of course some predetermined inputs, and maybe what I was dealing with had some predetermined inputs. It just had quite a lot of them, you know enough so it could do a very very sophisticated response to my mind in real time. So maybe it had some components, including ones based on me you know, gathered in the past that were composed on the fly. That were used to autogenerate contents related to the content of my mind. That's possible.”

Sounds unbelievable huh? Schizophrenic paranoiac fantastical delusions made up of science fiction fantasy!

“..So he's inspired by the Hall of Mirrors effect created by the algorithms. And how people can be swayed by being locked into little groups based on what data is known about them. And then they are fed material that is specifically made for them to react to in a specific way. To change them. And then once they change in that direction, then they're fed more stuff that there meant to react to, in a specific way.”
