Thanks to John Dalton for this call getting some attention, and the recent answers from artists Stellatino, a73x15 (Alex), Ingrassia, and Bunner. Here I want to be more specific about submissions, prints, and sales.

PURPOSE: The purpose of the show is to highlight "abstract" photography of "photographic" clarity and quality in the tradition of abstract photography since Coburn (1916), Stieglitz, Moholy-Nagy, Kepes, and others. I believe that outside of "camera based photography" there is "scanner-based" and now "video-based" photography (animation stills, e.g., Detheux, Laske, D. Miller, many others).

SUBMISSIONS: For enabling me to put the show together, I request that you submit FIVE 4x6"" jpgs following the convention of name_no._title_size.jpg. Kindly keep the file small so it does not overwhelm your or my email. Once I receive your images I will keep you in the loop about the January 2014 show.

FUNDRAISING FOR MOUNTING THE SHOW: The show requires that I find funding for matting and framing the PRINTS you sent me if I include your work. I will begin the fund raising work when all work is in and has been decided about together with the Rocky Neck Art Colony, Gloucester, MA (RNAC; see its website).

PRINTS: If the show includes your work, I will ask you to send me your prints to Gloucester, MA.

SALES; All work will be for sale. A contract will be signed about share of RNAC which will be entirely at cost. Framed prints that do not sell will be returned.

This is a lot of work but worth the effort.

Thank you for submitting jpgs as described.

Be patient, my art computer just crashed; I am working around it.

  • Is the image resolution that you want for the 5 jpeg images the same as what you would want to use if the pieces get accepted into the show?

  • Yes, I am a bit confused.  Are the "small" file size jpgs you want now simply for your preview purposes (with higher res files to be sent later)?

    Also, you say you are looking for funding to matte and frame... and that we will ship you our prints.  So I am wondering if you plan to have us pay for and create prints?  And how large and will it be all five images we send as previews?

    The answers to these questions would have an effect on which images I select for you, what size and how many. The confusion I am having is making it hard for me to know how careful I need top be preparing the initial 5 images.

    Thanks,

Interdimensional Coincidence Control

Hi everyone, I am glad the site is still here! Here is a new short video I made. All made in Studio Artist, several separate videos with alpha channels, then combined in layers with the music in Blender. A lot of MSG running through brushes, with several of the brush Path Starts being controlled by the MSG Scan Generator in the Generator part of the Path Start in the Paint Synthesizer. Also some MSG running through a brush, then making a video of that with an alpha channel, then making that a…

Whats going on with this site?

Has anyone else gotten a warning about this site disappearing? An email form just popped up, asking me to contract the owner and leave a message to let them know that they may loose their "network"Did Synthetik forget to pay it's bills, or is something else going on?I think 8 months is more than enough vacation time. Is anyone at Synthetik doing any development work at all?

Having difficulty exporting canvas as image

I'd like to export a canvas as a .tiff/.tif image file to a folder I made on my desktop.I select that from a dropdown menu, I can name the exported file, change the extension, etc, and I press save but nothing happens.It's always worked until now. It seems like a simple task. Any ideas?I'm on Mac OSX 12.6, if that matters, and my system hasn't changed since the last time I was able to export successfully.Thanks
