Izapan Stela Series 2 Work In Progress Stela 6, Izapa
Observe Stela 6 from an early Maya site in southern Mexico called Izapa. This is a classic depiction of the shamanic journey into the underworld, into the raging maw of unknown dimensions of time and space, within the deep psyche yet buoyed on the undulating waves of the celestial seas.
The name Electric Sheep comes from Philip K. Dick's novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. It realizes the collective dream of sleeping computers from all over the Internet. Electric Sheep is a distributed screen-saver that harnesses idle computers into a render farm with the purpose of animating and evolving artificial life-forms. The project is an attention vortex. It illustrates the process by which the longer and closer one studies something, themore detail and structure appears.
Each variation, called a “Sheep,” is created by the combination of 150 different variables, so the permutations are many. Using a central server, each instance of the software submits its own sheep to a pool where it recombines with other sheep, in a process not unlike sexual reproduction.
The most successful sheep (determined by humans who press the up arrows to vote for their favorite sheep) are more likely to reproduce, so over time the pool of sheep has become quite wonderful and beautiful.
As an artist, I became fascinated with the creative expression of the DMT experience. I endlessly scanned the internetforinterpretations of this strange dimension, of it's awe-inspiring landscape and entities. Finding written descriptions of the users experiences was easy,finding visual images proved to be much more difficult.
Meanwhile, my artwork began to take on a new directive. Vision serpents, pine cones, bufo toads and entheogenic plants flowed from my mind. At first it was one picture, then two, then three. I realized that the influences of this bizarre dimension were manifesting into almost everything I was drawing. Thie series of DMT inspired artis called "The Mimosa Project", aptly named after the sacred plant Mimosa Hostilis (Jurema) which is highly regarded for its rich NN-DMT content as well as its role in psychedelic shamanism.
