Love it or hate it… or somewhere in between, there is no denying that the advances in AI are pretty crazy. Here’s the tech launching for ChatGPT next month. Pretty clever!
… that if you’re at Burning Man, head over to Prism tonight at 1am to see some of my Machine Elf fractals running behind the DJ on a massive, super cool triangular screen!
If you’re at Burning Man, be sure to head over to the Prism art car at 1am on Friday night (so really Saturday morning to catch the awesome DJ/musician/artist Alex Cruz, backed by my Machine Elf creations on a massive custom screen… a 40’W x 20’H triangular video wall!
This took a short eternity to create, and thanks to everyone that helped make it happen! It was a total joy and I hope you get as much out of it as I did in creating it. Fractals; they are complicated. But hey, so is life.
If you are at Burning Man this year, be sure to see Alex Cruz’s set live at the PRISM art car. I believe it is Friday night. I thought about moving my annual Burning Man photo walk to this time and location, since time and location are arbitrary anyway. Quantum entanglement joke there…

Heading to NYC soon for a Machine Elf event in Brooklyn is going to be a one-of-a-kind experience that combines art, technology, and imagination. This event promises to be nothing short of extraordinary. But that’s not all! I’m also hard at work preparing for an unforgettable Machine Elf event at Burning Man. It’s the perfect place to showcase the full range of Machine Elf creations with our signature blend of psychedelic visuals and mind-altering concepts, we are ready to take participants on a JOURNEY they won’t soon forget.
And let’s not forget the annual photo walk! Every year, I gather with fellow photography enthusiasts in the awe-inspiring desert to capture the essence of Burning Man through our lenses. The barren landscapes and striking art of the playa provide the perfect backdrop for capturing stunning shots that encapsulate the spirit of this unique gathering. It’s always a joy to see familiar faces and meet new friends as we explore the surreal beauty of our surroundings together.
So, gear up, get ready, and join me on these exciting adventures ahead. Follow @machine_elf_worlds on IG for updates and stay tuned for more details. See you in the concrete jungle of Brooklyn and the dusty embrace of Burning Man!
During Burning Man 2022, I was fortunate enough to witness Monolink performing live on the Mayan Warrior. One particular moment from that night has etched itself in my memory, encapsulating the magic of Monolink’s music and the ethereal experience of Burning Man itself.
Monolink, true to his essence, graced the stage with his humble charm and dreamy aura. If you’re familiar with his performances, you’ll understand what I mean. Now, there’s this one instance in the middle of his set, around this timestamp (a big thank you to the Mayan Warrior team for their exceptional work!), where he’s about to unleash the beat of his track, The Silence.
What came next was a sound like no other – a primal, gut-wrenching, adrenaline-fueled audio wave that resonated through my very being and shook my skeleton. And Monolink knew it was coming… In the video, you can see him standing there, beaming with anticipation, dancing and waiting… As if saying, “Get ready for the sonic wave that I’m about to send across the desert, straight from my heart to yours.” And when he finally drops it… The euphoria is indescribable. This might seem extravagant to some, but to those who’ve shared similar experiences, it will resonate deeply.
In honor of Monolink and the profound impact his music has had on me, I’ve created this generative Machine Elf fractal. If you appreciate this, you might also enjoy my 3+ hour visual homage to his music in Machine Elf Long Mix #2. It’s a tribute to the joy and meaning Monolink has brought into my life.
Long time visitors to the blog will have seen a number of Web3/NFT/Crypto posts over the past few years. From early explorative discussions I had while walking the Camino to my own drops more recently. It’s a part of the tech world that fascinates me and has been a hugely interesting experience to delve into. One of the greatest aspects of that has been the community experience and often the real-life connections that have been made. Here’s a fun post from one of the people I’ve connected with along the way about how Web3 has changed his and his family’s life… featuring a little bit of me. 🙂
