Brief personal info: I'm a computer hacker who uses tech skills in the creation of visual images. I'm diagnosed with high-functioning autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. I use GIMP for most of my digital art. I also make electronic music in a subgenre that I call phrackwave. Click the Music link above to hear it.
I'm a dark empath and a cerebral narcissist. I'm openly sexist but still support women's rights. Pro-capitalism and pro-business but against unmitigated free markets. Pro-reason and anti-stupidity. Pro-spirituality and anti-dogma. I'm a radical realist. I believe in viewing things as they are rather than as they ought to be, and that opinions should be based on objective inquiry rather than ideology. I support sexual liberation and de-stigmatization of nudity. I believe a thing is only bad if it causes tangible, measurable harm. Symbolic harm and offenses against morality are meaningless concepts. I value freedom and authenticity above all other things. I'm shamelessly Machiavellian without being dishonest. I'm known for being extremely generous at times and extremely callous at others. I am neither good nor evil, I am simply logical.
I do:
And lots of random experiments
Some miscellaneous stats:
Current operating system: Ubuntu Linux (Jammy Jellyfish) on my laptop, Windows 7 Home Premium on my desktop, also use Commodore 64, Raspberry Pi OS, and Arch Linux sporadically
Shell of choice: /bin/bash because I'm old-fashioned
Programming languages: C, Processing, Javascript, PHP, R, Commodore BASIC, bash, sed, awk, GNU Make, Ruby, TeX
Diagnoses: High functioning autism, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, bipolar I, temporal lobe epilepsy
Sexuality: Pansexual (mostly hetero) grey-ace, vorarephile, exhibitionist, submissive
Current net worth: Upwards of $10,000 total in cash, stocks, silver, and crypto
Current occupation: Unemployed, focusing on side hustles
Side hustles and online ventures: Day trading with Fidelity, art marketing, tech blogging, software development with GitHub, digital music composition (I've been procrastinating on releasing my album)
I believe marketing is an essential part of art. I want to be an affluent artist, not a starving artist. That means I view my art venture as a brand, and I believe that a good brand is one that constantly innovates. Here are some of the innovations of the Phracker brand:
Hexels: Pixellated fractal art with diagonal pixels.
Noise art: Using statistical noise distributions for visual effect.
Deep horror: Exploiting the distorted nature of AI-generated art to produce uniquely horrifying creepypasta abominations.
Holofoil style: A style of glitch art that involves a unique combination of color separation, motion blur, databending, edge detect, and overlaying to produce an iridescent appearance.
Cosine bending: A form of databending that manipulates the parameters of the discrete cosine transform algorithm used to compress a JPEG.
Pre-glitch style: Glitch-like effect achieved by pixellating and then sharpening an image.
Code art: Art that combines imagery with computer code or ASCII/ANSI characters.
Raster art: Artwork made to look like a rendering by a raster scan on a vintage CRT computer monitor.
Edgecore style: A style of glitch art that involves applying cosine bending to get a blocky appearance and then applying vertical and/or horizontal shift lines to a get a vibe that's vaguely reminiscent of pixel sorting but still different.
I'm e-begging, because why not?
Because I live on retard bucks, I have a shitload of free time to do whatever I want. Besides making digital art, I also do the following:
Computer programming
Mathematical research
Day trading
Digital music composition
Piano music composition
Hacking and cyber-security research
4Chan PSYOPS
