This is APPARENT ABSTRACTIONS, a project for various forms of art—mostly digital—including glitch art (databending, compression artifacting, ROM corruptions), pixel sorting, multimedia, and general abstract art. All pieces are numbered with no other titles, and released to the public domain for others to use as they see fit.

Tumblr is nice because it lets me set up this tag browser, where you can not only view pieces by format but by color. There is also a DeviantArt, which is nice and clutter-free, and has the full resolution files available for viewing and download. There’s a Bluesky too!

APPARENT ABSTRACTIONS is the project of Nick Shutter, a bisexual leftist who spends most of his time drawing furries, listening to dungeon synth, and playing weird little indie games. His real-world job is in the field of healthcare and involves disability advocacy.

APPARENT ABSTRACTIONS and its artist will never mint NFTs, buy cryptocurrency, utilize AI trained on hard-working artists, use a delivery drone manned by an underpaid guy an ocean away, or engage in any of those other shitty ventures made by Silicon Valley startup pricks.
