Det slitna gula pappret på gatlyktan i Psyri fladdrade till i den ljumma atenska vinden. Ur kaoset av graffiti blickade Marcus Aurelius ut med tomma, tryckta ögon. Ovanför hans lockiga skägg stod det: Lektioner för vardagslivet från stoikerna.
Jag plockar fram mobilen för att ta en bild.
I ett universum bortom det vakna sinnets gränser existerar Psychia – ett miraklernas land där drömmar flätas samman i ett evigt nätverk.
A world assembled from recorded dreams
Psychia är både en efterlängtad fristad och en våldsam arena, där skönheten från heliga tempel och de djupblå bergen möter skuggorna från den ultimata dystopin. Det är en värld där ljus och mörker balanserar varandra och nya möjligheter ständigt tar form.

Blicken skärps. Sofftygets veck ser först ut som de alltid gjort – skuggor i slitna fibrer, ingenting mer. Men så rör sig något. Något som inte borde finnas där. Vecken sträcks ut, pressas isär av en lång, segmenterad kropp som långsamt kravlar sig upp ur djupet av tyget, som om soffan själv gömt den.
Continue readingAI animation in the first newbie state. An attempt to create a short story combining various tools and platforms. Maybe I should rather say it was made entirely by AI. I only gave an initial idea and coordinated the efforts.
*sound must be on*
UPDATE: This current AI animation attempt resulted in the following more completed video o the YouTube channel of the Greek Expedition:
An experimental animation of an introspective, pictorial narrative nature. It is my first humble attempt to animate a video. Created shortly before the explosion of the AI during my second COVID-19 disease and quarantine, in January 2022.
During my second COVID-19 quarantine in January 2022, I decided to create a unique animation as a form of artistic expression and introspection. This animation, which I call “Instrance,” is an experimental journey through my personal memories and experiences, captured through a series of images and narratives.

EDIT: This was after my first illness with Covid, under strict lock down in Athens and before the vaccines had come. Because I was in a high risk group, it was a bit scary in that time:
In deep chock when I got the news from the laboratory.
Molecular/PCR test Covid-19: Traceable
Two weeks full of agony started.
The following rapid recording, shortly after the disease, is dedicated to the Luck (Tyche – Τύχη) I had to undergo only relatively light symptoms and a quick recovering.
Deeply grateful for that!
Αs for the anti-bodies and immunity achieved.
Three reddish objects made up a fine line at the southern skies, end of February 2021.
Betelgeuse – Aldebaran – Mars
– made up a wonderful trio to watch and to follow from my backyard or my Stellarium.

Storm Medea hits Athens. 
36 hours constant snowing. Has not happened for over 40 years
Everything – the whole city – paralysed.
Voilá, icy lemons and rosemary a la carte!
And me with Taxi-Siberia to the hospital take care of Ma
But when the snow melted away the first lily of the year appeared.
Just a stone’s throw from my home, quite close to Athens city center, Ποδονίφτης, a blessed stream coils through the urban landscape. 
Down at the banks it really feels like being out on the country side.
Or high up on a mountain.
Closer look shows the developing of an amazing echo system
If you spare a couple of minutes to listen, you always get a true repose for the soul, as the primordial flow ceaselessly murmurs through the concrete jungle
Day and night
