izzyEnter The Blue Valley
“If you had the nation's gaze for an hour, what would you say?”Such a thought sparked our conversation in the hours after Hindia's album concert in Semarang. Nestled in a dimly lit corner of a hotel lobby, redolent with the scent of cigarettes, Arya, Baskara, and I exchanged ideas, prepping mentally for the upcoming concert in Jakarta.

I’m going to tell you a story of how I break myself out of the Adobe ecosystem, into the other side: free open source software. It’s gonna be hell of a ride, so buckle up.Disclaimer: This entry is not sponsored by any entity. Opinions are my own.I've been hooked on Photoshop since elementary school, where I spent hours editing pictures, creating humorous images, and retouching family portraits. The splash screen of Photoshop 7.0, my first introduction to the software, still brings back n...
izzyOn Artificially Generated Images And What It Means For Artists And Designers Alike
I have been closely observing the development of generative neural networks for the past few years now, and even tried training one myself about 4 years ago. Though without much luck back then, my computers were a lot less powerful than today, and the technology was in its early development then. I believe really good artists and creators should not worry too much about the emerging trend of artificially generated images. More on this later, but for now, remember: Computationally cheap genera...

This has everything to do with crypto art, NFT, and everything else I've done before. A year ago, I got in a dark place that restrained my creative ability. I got tired of the things that used to excite me and that includes crypto art. Since then, I keep on creating tokenized art, albeit in an inconsistent manner. A year later, my feelings remain unchanged.
Public attention and adoption to NFT came faster than I expected, and I feel like a lot of them failed to put a good light on this new medium. Being focused on the artistic side of things, I have failed to design my works better to fit this new group of audiences. This forces me to waste my energy contemplating rather than creating.
But how can I stay relevant while doing so? Finding a solution to this personal problem of mine seems to be the most practical way out.
I present to you: Incomplete Design.
This project will be my medium to constantly create and experiment with my art while inviting the audience into the process. The NFT will never stay the same and will grow with me as well as you — the audience.
Incomplete Design will launch on February 22nd. Availability, pricing, and more information about the project will be shared along the way until its release date.
