The Desert Wasteland
( Get me a talent agent already!)2022 - Present
Just barely to within an inch of his life, Loid escaped the decade of traps and tests in The Forest of Abandonded Cats October 2021.
Faced with the simple life or death choice... he chose to live.
Within 6 months of his sobriety Loid has his first art exhibition for his Symmetrical Paintings project.
First Exhibition April 2022
Symmetrical Paintings
Fair Trade Cafe
Phoenix, Arizonawww.symmetricalpaintings.com
When the Spring 2020 Coronavirus lock downs and quarantine began Loid purchased the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil and the painting app ProCreate. With those tools he developed a new form of Art.
After a month of frustration at being unable to draw or paint anything that he liked, Loid found ProCreate's radial symmetry guide. The symmetry guide is a tool that is present in every painting and drawing program that has ever existed. That is when he stopped TRYING to make art and instead began to slowly and deliberately PULL infinitely random abstract art into this world from some other dimension where they seemed to have already existed. As if these paintings are discovered on visionary archeological expeditions somewhere beyond.
All these Symmetrical Paintings began without intentionality as random abstract scribbles made while in a trance like state trying to deal with and survive a period in modern history that at times felt like the end of the world.

It could contain conscious minds which may or may not be fully aware that they are living inside a simulation
is the hypothesis of the invention of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI would be capable of recursive self-improvement, leading to the rapid emergence of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). This will abruptly trigger a runaway feedback loop of technological breakthroughs resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization... the limits of which are unknown. Technological progress will become so rapid that it makes the future after the Singularity qualitatively different and impossible to predict due to an inability of human beings to imagine the intentions or capabilities of superintelligent entities.
