All Living Writers Listed – by Aye Eye

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.

PLEASE SEE THE LIST OF ALL THE MANY LINKS HERE

Each image is clickable and available as a separate enlarged one.

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.

Lovecraft’s last lav

Back in July 2016, I posted this gestalt real-time review of a book entitled THE AGE OF LOVECRAFT: https://dflewisreviews.wordpress.com/2016/07/13/the-age-of-lovecraft/

I need to know – was this before Scott Nicolay’s famous throwaway line or not? The line that has contributed – rightly or wrongly – to the disruption of the planning at the imminent NecronomiCon in Providence.

My view is that HPL needs pissing on and adoring in equal measure, for obvious separate respective reasons. Long live the tenets of Nemonymity and Wimsatt’s Intentional Fallacy! I hope the Con will thus revert to its planned equilibrium and deserved success.

I intend to real-time review the fiction in this issue and, when I do, my comments will appear in the thought stream below…

DO YOU LIKE TO LOOK AT MONSTERS? By Scott Nicolay

An ebook of a story purchased from Amazon, reviewed by Des Lewis

“Captain Nemo also has a pipe organ onboard but you don’t see it till later.”

image

A shuttling alternation by a boy, in cahoots with a slightly older girl, of viewfinder monsters and real life, this alternation spread over with dream as well as octopuses, dinosaurs, cactuses, uncles, aunts and stories based on Verne and a real war that Americans got involved in at the time etc. A dare you of a story. A Nemo of a story that when you reach your own Sixties, not those earlier Sixties, and when in later years you become nobody or a skeleton of nobody wrapped round with Cong.
Others may see a different story wrapped round them. That’s the beauty of bespoke fiction like this. But thankfully seeing is disbelieving. Knowing its colour, too. One man’s bad past is another man’s catharsis and so it goes on, slide by slide. Don’t turn off the lights, I like to look.
A story that others tell back at it.
