Hook, Line & Sinker collects the real photos, hallucinations with AI, and videos I produced over the past few years. By real photos, I mean photos taken with an analog or digital camera. For now, that’s the clearest definition. It also includes Iphonography, assuming it involves a camera inside a phone. Themes include industrial exploration, concerts and country specials.

Concerning the videos, there is little debate as far as definition goes; except that this collection often involves digitized public domain analogue films. Historic footage is recycled and edited in a psychedelic synchronic-diachronic montage, often in split-screen and in myriad versions. However, these are non-linear videos, ie not narrative. They are mediation videos that will help you get rid of your ego. You don’t need to watch them from start to end. You may stare and lose yourself in daydreaming.

Concerning the AI pictures, for a definition we stick to digital images. They are not reproductions of photographs, not simulations, not collages, nor are they graphic works. They are one-of-a-kind artificial hallucinations created with Text to Image LLM Generators. Below is a collection of random samples from the Weather Office Annual Report. Future fashion & hypothetical anthropology!

On the home page you will find everything mixed in chronological order. The hamburger menu at the top right will take you to thematically organized pages and the photo at the top left will take you back to the home page. Have fun!

More extensive texts are hidden in between, usually about concerts that made a big impression on me. Max Richter, Radiohead and Sigur Ros.

If you click on the photos, a technical gallery pops up for larger size.
