if you tried Shaderland, my learn-graphics-programming zachlike, in the arcade at #emfcamp - or for that matter if you didn't and you're like 'hold on what?' - pop a wishlist on steam and get the (slightly fixed up) demo in the next couple of weeks! store.steampowered.com/app/4487340/...

Screenshot from the intro screen of Shaderland, showing the ferret creature Swizzle over a huge nest of complex wires. Text: 'You created Swizzle to go where you cannot... into the depths of computational space, a strange realm that we call SHADERLAND'

The level select screen, with the player explaining to Swizzle that they are not someone called Lilith. The selected level is a transparent plastic shell gadget with a big green arrow saying 'begin' coming out.

Screenshot of 'Shaderland', showing the editor screen and some text explaining how the ferret creature walks on white pixels and falls through black pixels

The circuit board part of the Shaderland UI, decorated with cute messages and Goetic sigils.

left is no diffuse, right is just reading and writing the same texel after drawing the particles which *should* be a noop. if each shader invocation only dealt with one texel it would be fine. but the particle can be drawn anywhere, so it can get overwritten by the blur from another invocation.

just particles drawing dots, producing a nice homogeneous pattern

reading and writing the same texel creates a pattern of triangles and square tiles

today we implemented a dialogue system in shaderland and it's all starting to get Quite Pretty =)

a screenshot of Shaderland's level select screen. the player is having a conversation with Swizzle the ferret. the text boxes have a blurred transparency effect. Swizzle is surprised to learn the player is not someone called Lilith. there is also a UI element for a level select widget, which looks like an old transparent plastic gameboy or similar device.

bonsoir à annecy! with @yrgirl.bsky.social :3 if any of you are in town for the film festival (or some other mysterious reason...) and wish to say hi, lmk ^^

last week we showed up to the shader jam while in a very altered state, and tried to express something rather inscrutable as a shader (sphere = blahaj = memdmp = transfemininity = recursion) well the idea was sound?? this week i got the thing working and damn, we were onto something #demoscene

other D&G insights include: Nietzsche was plural actually

excerpt: ...nature of the violent oscillations that overwhelm an individual so long as he seeks only his own center and is incapable of seeing the circle of which he himself is a part; for if these oscillations overwhelm him, it is because each one of them corresponds to an individual other than the one he believes himself to be, from the point of view of the unlocatable center. As a result, an identity is essentially fortuitous, and a series of individualities must be undergone by each of these oscillations, so that as a consequence the fortuitousness of this or that particular individuality will render all of them necessary."20 The forces of attraction and repulsion, of soaring ascents and plunging falls, produce a series of intensive states based on the intensity = 0 that designates the body without organs ("but what is most unusual is that here again a new afflux is necessary, merely to signify this absence"21). There is no Nietzsche-the-self, professor of philology, who suddenly loses his mind and supposedly identifies with all sorts of strange people; rather, there is the Nietzschean subject who passes through a series of states, and who identifies these states with the names of history: "every name in history is I. . . ."22 The subject spreads itself out along the entire circumference of the circle, the center of which has been a

judge schreber is like the paradigmatic case of a schizophrenic person from freud's writings or something but like... this person is just trans?? which makes it quite funny that D&G then start in on this egg thing

for tonight's @field-fx.party shader jam, a tribute to 'Empires' by @conspiracy.hu - obviously far short of the real deal (and if you crank up the depth of field, a real gpu-killer), but pretty happy to get this effect working in an hour or two! github.com/canmom/jams/... #demoscene

my @revision-party.bsky.social shader showdown entry... with a fair few more hours on it. quadtree + semi-analytic marching + camera moves + a whole lot of figuring out tricky bugs, pretty happy with where it ended up though :3 (music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND5d... by PAON)

a year ago I heard about shader livecoding and resolved to make it to the #RevisionParty2026 shader showdown stage... and guess what :3 time to see where all that mountaintop shader training at fieldfx got us!

'style copyright' is thankfully recognised as a trap, except... instead they want to propose a new copyright-like thing for protecting a 'persona', such as voice. exactly what that would entail is hard to imagine. it is dystopian to imagine you might sell your 'persona rights' to a corpo!

Copyright protects specific expressions, not general ideas, themes or style.178 As Dr Guadamuz noted, this approach is “foundational to copyright systems worldwide”. He explained: “Protecting style under copyright would come dangerously close to granting monopolies over artistic techniques and conventions, which would chill the very creativity that copyright is designed to promote.”179 AI systems can therefore generate convincing stylistic imitations without necessarily engaging copyright in any individual underlying work, leaving a structural gap for creators whose economic position depends on the distinctiveness of their style.

82.Dr Trapova said that new protections from the harms posed by deepfakes should not be framed as providing “a licensing opportunity or another stream of revenue” for individuals. In her view, “this area deserves legislation of its own”, rather than being tackled through an expansion of copyright.197 In its report, the ISM proposed that:

“New statutory personality rights, or reforms to existing performer and image rights, could sit alongside the copyright and performance rights framework and be supported by related areas of law, including data protection and privacy law, consumer protection and misrepresentation law, contract law or competition law.”198

83.The absence in UK law of a robust personality right or specific protection for digital likeness means that creators and performers lack an adequate basis to challenge harmful outputs that imitate their distinctive style, voice or persona without reproducing a specific underlying work.

84.The Government should introduce protections against unauthorised digital replicas and ‘in the style of’ uses. Any new framework should give creators and performers clear, enforceable control over the commercial exploitation of their identity, while appropriately safeguarding freedom of expression and other legitimate uses.

notable they describe the 'soft power' created by the UK creative industry in such specific terms. it does not sit well to have my works be recognised as an element of UK soft power to be exploited; I want it to belong to the international mycorrhizal tranny society, not its current host nations

quote from the report: he UK creative industries are an economic powerhouse with huge growth potential, and a vital part of the UK’s soft power. Their success has been underpinned by what witnesses described as an internationally-respected “gold-standard” copyright framework.

This octree tracer idea was one of the very first things I tried doing at the @field-fx.party shader jams when I started, finally have a version of it that works! #demoscene

For this week's @field-fx.party shader jam, I extended my fragment shader pathtracer to use cosine-weighted sampling and support multiple spheres. plus a small box blur ('we have restir at home'...) Catnip suggested a cute little rolling shutter effect to make the spheres wobbly.

I can't claim it's efficient, but for this week's @field-fx.party jam, I made a little pathtracer in a fragment shader! featuring the world's hackiest temporal accumulation #demoscene src: github.com/canmom/jams/...

I wrote about creating intricate twisty shapes by integrating divergence-free fields, using Rust, wgpu and compute shaders! github.com/MagnusThor/s... You can run the effect in a WebGPU-enabled browser here: canmom.art/noodles/ src: github.com/canmom/noodles #demoscene #graphics #wgpu #rust

I finished writing the story of going to Revision this year. It ended up some 17,000 words long because I wanted to cover *everything*. And... I did! Eventually! Retrospective, exposition of the scene, archive... I don't know, but I'd be glad if you read! #demoscene canmom.art/adventure/de...

Tonight's @field-fx.party shader jam... plus a bit of extra time. I want to play around with divergence-free 3D noise but to begin with I made a 2D effect advecting along a 2D slice! Finally starting to get somewhere resembling fluid sim ^_^ #demoscene #shader github.com/canmom/jams/...

Tonight's @field-fx.party shader jam, I am casting rays out against an infinite field of the Game of Life. github.com/canmom/jams/... Each pixel essentially owns its own game of life cell on a toroidal play area which tiles the plane. A noise texture is added based on the FFT. #demoscene

can't decide if this article was written by LLM or just full of really corny similes, either way not inspiring a ton of confidence (& to compare two translations into chinese, surely it should show us the chinese text, not just a 'what it would have sounded like in english' representation?)
