[extraterrestrialsprobably]

Awesome! Hope you’re happy somewhere, Chicken Nugget!

[magical-game]

I have missed this post so much! Let’s all celebrate Chicken Nugget!

[frivolousphantasies]

do you guys realize that,,,, chicken nugget is one of those butterflies that is perfectly half female and half male?? nugget’s left wing is typical of a female spice bush swallowtail and the right wing is typical of a male

a gender role smashing icon

[krystal-prisms]

I wondered why the wings looked different

[decorativeskull]

Incredible

He’s a bilateral gnandromorph!!

[sleepy-sphinx-deactivated202012]

WE STAN?????

[matthew-gubler-fangirl]

chicken nugget said intersex rights

[cowboybaedling]

This whole post is wonderful, but I think a lot of people don’t realise just how rare bilateral gynandromorphs are. Research has shown that only approximately 1 in 6,000 butterflies is a bilateral gynandromorph! So thanks so much @oddity-txt for sharing this wonderful being with us!

The Rise of the Coder Artist

Above: Ravenkwok

I have recently seen some articles about whether AI can create art.  It is one of those dumb ideas that is easy clickbait.  The art created often tries to imitate figurative renaissance style painting, and it looks dumb.  Computers are not artists yet!

The more interesting topic is how many coders are now making motion art, and beautiful art, with just code.

I am not a coder.  But as a curator for gifs for Cross Connect I am always on the lookout for great gif artists and over and over again I find really interesting work being done by coders, with code.  Often without any art background or training they simply have a desire to create something beautiful that moves, and their paintbrush is code, as opposed to standard animation tools like After Effects or Cinema 4D, let alone actual paintbrushes.

Of course the work is for the most part abstract.  For a time I had harbored this idea that it was a  trend that would run its course:  After all how many times will a spinning torus or vortex interest you?

But the opposite seems to be true.  The variation and excellence in this genre seems to be increasing in richness as artists learn from each other and develop new techniques.  Some of the most startling and innovative motion imagery I have seen in the last year comes from this area,

Here are a few examples of the surprising variety that is out there.  Note how different not only in the imagery but the overall feeling each of these examples give you.
