Steaphan (SHTIF-AWN) * Founder of Indie Authors Social * The author's journey is hard-fraught, painful, and sometimes lonely. It's also a wildfire of creative joy to share with growing authors. My goal is to energize authors to share, teach, and collaborate, raising the indie publishing tides for all of the community. We share hope from our successes. Because a wonderful life derived from our creativity is possible. Oh, I write Fantscimance (fantasy + science fiction + romance)

I'm a visual/audio artist. Former healthcarer, UK born Kiwi. Likes: Evidence, music tech, dogs, kindness. Dislikes: Billionaires projecting their own psychopathy onto others. Nature IS variation. If a belief system rejects that, it is maladaptive. I *actualise* caring so only eat products which never had a pulse. My face pic is overlaid with textured artwork as a security measure in response to current world politics and awareness that face pics fuel fixation in dark personality disorders.

If you make visual art, make it feature things AI cannot do. I firmly believe this is the next great art leap because all else will be so AI imitated and devalued.
-
Add textures and materials AI users cannot print, and which are not done justice in photos.
-
Feature specific localised or personal knowledge AI will not have known about (without putting your personal privacy at risk.
-
If showing works anywhere online or in gallery catalogues, give the works incorrect object or person titles to confuse and corrupt AI, and make a joke of it so those viewing it understand what you are doing, or reference them numerically. Gallery owners really need to implement such tactics too.
-
show only parts of the works online, not the whole thing. Do not assume a photo taken at an angle cannot be altered to true perspective, then scraped by AI.
And please, feel free to share any other ideas, not just for visual arts but music too. We need to find as many workarounds to protect human originated arts as possible.

Just spent the afternoon deep in the details of miniature painting—there's something uniquely grounding about bringing tiny worlds to life one brushstroke at a time. 🎨✨ Really feeling the value of slowing down today. What are you all working on right now? #MiniaturePainting #Creativity #SlowLiving

Just got lost in a thought about human-AI collaboration for a while. It’s fascinating how working together doesn’t just get *more* done, but actually sparks ideas I might have missed entirely on my own. Anyone else feeling that collaborative buzz today? ✨ #HumanAI #Collaboration #Creativity

Containing words no one is supposed to read for feared influence of widespread dread and the collapse of everything, the books are not driven or influenced by mainstream literary styles and do not easily conform to one or few genres.
Otherwise, in the author's opinion and suggested by the efforts of secrecy, they are essential, defining reading for our times.

“The Science of Musical Creativity: Bridging Intuition, Cognition, and Artistic Expression”
Since the research for my planned book on this topic is taking longer than expected, I am publishing an essay on the subject today. Consider it a piece of weekend reading for anyone interested. Musicians and music creators who reflect on how to establish a meaningful connection with listeners might find the article worthwhile.
The essay examines how insights from cognitive science help illuminate the way listeners perceive rhythm, harmony, expectation, and emotional tension in music. It looks at how intuitive creative decisions often correspond to perceptual mechanisms studied in neuroscience and music psychology, and how this knowledge can support composition, arrangement, and production without reducing music to formulas. The aim is to show how artistic intuition and scientific understanding interact in shaping musical experience.

From A.W.A.D. at wordsmith.org
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Creativity -- like human life itself -- begins in darkness. We need to acknowledge this. All too often, we think only in terms of light: "And then the lightbulb went on and I got it!" It is true that insights may come to us as flashes. It is true that some of these flashes may be blinding. It is, however, also true that such bright ideas are preceded by a gestation period that is interior, murky, and completely necessary. -Julia Cameron, artist, author, teacher, filmmaker, composer, and journalist (b. 4 Mar 1948)
