. generative art piece using a.i. by David Lockard | 0-99 series of 1/1 editions | 2200 x 2200 | 72 dpi . . This is a new direction for me artistically with the help of a.i. I am exploring new ideas I might not have considered otherwise. 100 1/1 series of images for “tainted garden” are inspired from listening to the track "begin the begin" by REM - the song inspired me.. such a driving opening track for the album "life's rich pageant" - I’ve always loved it and REM fans know it well - probably the best opening track to any of their albums it stirs the complacent to action.. a call to start over.. “silence means security, silences means approval.” - the older I get the more I reflect but I still have a fire within me to make a change where it's needed… in some images you can see that fire glowing.. others just more darkness continuing to fester.. visually, this patch needs to be tended to.. this "tainted garden" needs it's gardener to help it bloom again.. "let's begin again.." be that change..”begin the begin” . . davidlockard.com | @davidlockard | #davidlockard | lockard.tez . .
