@chiaranonino @mathieustern “Once, The great Chinese Emperor Qianlong became fascinated by the art of photography. He was particularly enamored with the intricacies of the cameras and the beautiful images they produced. The Emperor was so taken with photography that he ordered his finest artisans to create a camera made entirely of porcelain.
The artisans worked tirelessly to create a masterpiece that would please the Emperor. They carefully crafted each piece of the camera by hand, using the finest kaolin clay and the most delicate of designs. When the camera was finished, it was a thing of beauty. The blue and white porcelain shimmered in the light, and the intricate designs and details were truly breathtaking.
The Emperor was delighted with the camera, and he immediately ordered his court photographer to use it to take portraits of him and his court. The resulting images were stunning, and the Emperor was so pleased with the camera that he ordered several more to be made for his court photographers. The porcelain cameras became a symbol of the Emperor's love for photography and his admiration for the artisans who had created them.”

This painting started with the title, and I drew directly from "The Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymus Bosch for inspiration. I loved zooming way in on the painting to scrutinize all the little Bosch characters and choosing which elements would lend themselves to the whims of a Collector Bot. Hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do!
My CRUSTACEAPODS have come to life! With the help of master animator and sound engineer, Nilanka, @magicloopnft, the creatures in my painting CRUSTACEAPODS , (2008 ) can move in ways I've seen in my imagination. Now I can finally see my creations come alive with animated energy!
