Been off for some personnal reasons, still quite busy with practical things and an exhibition. So I will not comment and look at all the 4600 deviations, number still keeping increasing... Plus, my internet access is slow.
So I want to thank you who suggested and who featured it. And of course, all the deviant who have faved it. More thank you to those who have the kindness to comment, and of course to my friends and watchers that support me on everyday run. Merci trugarez grazie gracias danke teçekkur choukrane efkaristo obrigada...
Yessss ! We are more or less familiar with the concept of art created by machines, but this new. The site [link] offers automatic assesment of aesthetic rating of photos. This is quite odd and dubious, but it amuse me to no ends !
Machine aesthetic contest
is holding a contest using this site, the aim is to get both highest and lowest scoring on photos. I am sure it will be very surprising. Read the news : [link] So if you like taking shots and are not taking yourself too seriously, try this contest. I will feature the contestants on my journal as long as I have a sub, that is, not for very long now...
I am fed-up to receive notes of "warnings" about a virus that could allegedly distroy your files by adding someone to your watch list, and an incitation to propagate this bullshit to your whole list of friends. Only people totally clueless about how computers works can beleive that, and propagate this is spam. This could not lead to destruction of your precious files ( and you have backups, anyway ) but it could lead to an explosive waste of bandwith and being reported as spammer to DA staff. I am not used to brag but whom would you trust on computer matters, an old computer engineer that has worked with every OS you never heard of, or a clueless teenager that want to attract some attention ? My advice. Have a good anti-virus and anti-trojan installed and update it on a regular basis ( I guess most of you are using a window flavored OS ). AND make backups ( HD sometimes crashes, you know ? ) AND make external archives ( CD, HD, DVD, or external on-line storage with backups ). Several places if this is critical date, like your financial datas or things that are very important to you. AND of course, do not open .exe files that come in you mailbox, unless they come from a trusted source and you required it, or downloaded it from a trustable site. Sites that offer you commercial software with a 90% rebate are not trustable sites. And please, never, never send a message of pyramidal sheme to your all mail list. In the best of case it is pollution, and you will be blocked. In the worst of case it is crookery, and makes you an accomplice that can be sued for trying to make money out of nothing.
I like this combo of colors a lot, for it warm when the orange goes brown, elegant when the black goes grey, striking when the orange is close to red or yellow...And often, all those qualities at the same time.
Want to be featured ?
Please send me orange and black images, (Thumb + your icon ) by note. It can contains also grey, warm browns and orange-red as well as orange-yellow in addition to the two main colors, but any other color should be avoided or be in very scarce quantity.

Personnal news and shameless self promotion
The works on my house are going on, but slowly...Still making everyday life a bit complicated ! This is the kitchen ; since the weather is better now, I have tranfered the basins used as sink from the bathroom to the garden. Much better, and in a few days hopefully I would be able to use the regular sink in the new kitchen. But 2 month more before it is ready...At last. Hence I have little time for art. Thank you so much for the features you made of my deviations. And comments and favourites also of course. If you want to help me with the features orange and black, it will be also wery much appreciated since I am overloaded. Just send me a note the thumb and the icon of yourself, or anyone else you want to see featured in this black orange series.
I am hanging an exhibition on friday, and I have done nothing ! Oh well.
links or sites I liked
I am a fan of ImproveEverywhere. I think what they do is art, call it performing if you want. But art of today, of people loving life and making pratical poetry, giving surprises and awekening the unprepared assistance. [link]
