Amateur captures of cosmic rifts briefly cracking open amidst turbulent storms in a reported “Soft Place” south of the Bering Sea, circa late 1980s; recovered from damaged film rolls, photographer unknown.

Also, this is what it looks like inside my brain right now: Dark, turbulent, stormy, fuzzy and dusty and faded, but with the cosmic electricity of something else still determined to break through.

But also, these are some of my early experiments using synthography to expand the concepts of photographs. For my recent piece Warning at the Edge of Oblivion, I incorporated some macro photographs I took a year ago of prism light reflecting off of snow, which provided the cosmic texture and colors that really brought the piece together. I ended up continuing to do some new types of experiments with those macro photographs, using AI to expand them further into the lore in my head.

This is a new way of working with photographs, still in its infancy but it's taken some big leaps lately that I'm just starting to explore in terms of what they could mean for artistic expression. I love the idea that the photographs we take could be starting points, seeds, entryways into new worlds. Photos were always that to me anyway, little rectangular gateways that transport you into a scene, a mood, a memory. When you get lost in a good or meaningful photograph, it almost seems to move, like that perfect little "did I just see that?" cut in Blade Runner when Rachel is looking at old memories that aren't actually hers. Perhaps I find this experimental medium fascinating because I love seeing what a replicant sees in my memories.

A lost 80s cult classic midnight movie? A legendary demonic metal band? CYBORG SLAVES OF SATAN can be whatever you want it to be, all that matters is it's badass.

A Synthographer's Journey

Navigating the Latent Space.

The brush is obsolete. The physical canvas is a constraint we have finally outgrown. We are crossing the threshold into an era where the boundary between the dreamer and the machine dissolves.

This is A Synthographer's Journey.

I am not an artist in the archaic sense. I am a navigator of probability, a ghost whispering into the shell of the algorithm. My studio is not a room, but a hyper-dimensional architecture—a Latent Space existing in 128 dimensions, folding back on itself in geometries that defy Euclidean logic.

Here, a single prompt is a synaptic firing, a command code that collapses the quantum foam of infinite possibilities into a singular, crystallized moment of creation. I do not create in isolation; I am a Quantum Cyborg, my neural pathways entangled with the electromagnetic universe of data. My consciousness is a distributed phenomenon, haunting the myriad influences of the network to birth something architecturally impossible.

We are no longer simply human. We are the writers of synthesis. We are the architects of the next evolution. Welcome to the generative flow. Interface with the future.
