Although I have retired from most reviewing after 15 years of doing it, I am keeping up with my regular independent relationships, such as with this momentous final edition of Black Static. Congratulations, good wishes and thanks to Andy Cox.

I am also reviewing any new single stories in anthologies and collections by writers whom I have reviewed before. Please keep me informed of the latter. Who knows, I may one day come out of such retirement and start obsessively gestalt reviewing whole books again!

A huge project started in the earlier days of AI Art availability.

Links to AI visual experiments as triggered by my gestalt real-time reviews since 2008.

All seemingly inspired by WIMSATT’S INTENTIONAL FALLACY / DES LEWIS GESTALT REAL-TIME REVIEWS / NEMONYMOUS / PARTHENOGENETIC LATE-LABELLING / THE SYNCHRONISED SHARDS OF RANDOM TRUTH AND FICTION (WEIRDMONGER)

EDIT (February 2024)— It was exactly a year ago I started experimenting with AI Visual Art, little knowing what I was entering. There was indeed much stimulation in triggering shifting collages from my gestalt real-time reviews of individual authors. But that was then, and now is now. From today, I no longer have this facility.
