With AI becoming increasingly mainstream, the discussion around its use in governance and public policy has popped back up. I was mentioned in this article by @guardian related to my @watson2016 project. https://t.co/WTbbP5a7ew

Decided to plug in a computer that has been sitting in a garage for a decade. Turns out it's an old Linux box I used to test https://t.co/GOQDuEN2Vz projects on. Last login 6/23/2012. I traversed a few directories until it froze up and the machine started beeping at me angrily.

Twitter got hacked. They took their API offline. Broke my website. Time to add try/catch statements to literally everything I am not hosting myself.

Dreams can be great opportunities to allow our subconscious to drive the exploration of a subject in ways we wouldn’t consciously consider. Find out how @datadreamer uses liminal state ideation sessions to tap into creative ideas for his #dataviz projects. https://t.co/rhkltSDjta

@MschFr This was an already freely available SVG file of county outlines. I am hoping to incorporate it with some other data down the road. https://t.co/LOaUf96pxX

Went to my local art store today and dropped $50 on 9 pens and 24 sheets of 14"x17" drawing paper. I did not plan on spending that much. 🤷‍♂️

1000 lines connecting two random walkers. This one done with N2 Copic marker with the brush tip. Testing out how the overlapping lines build up contrast. First plot that I could smell while it was being created. #plottertwitter #generativeart #processing #axidraw

1000 lines connecting two random walkers. Micron 005. Loving the moiré results. #processing #plottertwitter #generativeart

@ashgomez1123 @PlotterTweeter I'm just barely getting into the details of vector images, Inkscape, and the AxiDraw machine. I think I will experiment with different stroke weights first (varying micron pens). Then get into mixing colors. Excited to try different mediums and materials.

[Aaron Siegel @datadreamer]

It begins... My first test print. 😍 #plottertwitter #axidraw #generativeart

[Aaron Siegel @datadreamer]

Gonna make so much moiré shit.

[Aaron Siegel @datadreamer]

Hmm...

Phylotaxis experiments in preparation for plotting. Hoping to do a mix of pen plotting and digital projection mapping for some future artworks.
