Prelude To Inwood’s Modernity. Art In The Public Sphere.
Arts journal is geo-politically aware. We are facing strange intersections between rich and poor. This is happening by way of economical capital re-distribution, AI improvements, bio-medical and in cyber-security. . .As a registered independent, Libertarian/conservative with progressive social issues values.
The reader can inquired by tracing all footnote links, included along the way.
A Letter from George “P-Body” Washington. With Love: “My dear woke-less citizens. From Thursday July 10th, to Wednesday July 26th 1777. The whole world eatery awaited with anxious anticipation, both Brexit and England to leave these 13 universes, alone. I, George Washington. Your first immigrant non-birth right president ponders if her majesty will ever come back to claim her tea bags.
With ease and determination, ahead of any Federal system. Ways and means is born along with constitutional adherence, love for country and our beloved 13 colonies. From the ground up I wittiness 13 lovely paradoxes, race towards developing modernity with uncertainty principles. Retiring back to the heights to built space force.
From Beacon NY to Inwood NYC with a little West NY-Nj love in mind. Will forever be, the place to be.
To be is to make choices for oneself while understanding difficult times and tribulations. Justice and freedom for some, and in the future, for all. We the people understand 18th Century polemics. Slavery, native pulp, war and peace aside. But above all. Her Majesty tea bags in order of fashion can’t return.
Our modern perspective is always evolving. As framers, we wrote the constitution as a piece of time travel software. We also drafted the bill of rights in the same manner. To be something greater than the sum of all parts. The goal for our new land is to be amended. One day, our words will allow all multicultural (Robert Ryman Paintings)mischief to co-exist, beyond white walls. We must understand our fight is to bring modernity to the America’s. We did not intend to perpetuate folklore like Mohegan pulp to coalesce without science or reason.”
First Narrator: Past and the present tense are convoluted bed fellows.
“George P-Body Washington”. “An intergalactic space traveler, and also America’s first President. Using a technology called: hyper-loop neural labs. Further advances include building Dyson structures with Neural Link artificial intelligence sentient technology mega structures.
These Dyson mega ships scales, range larger than our sun. They include Super Nova weaponry lasers with advance UI (user interfaces) body plugging navigational system. Mental deployment payloads and brain wave amplification side effects causing psychosis related thought patterns, the one will inhabit.
Thesis Statement:
Book Concept Research.
The Oort Cloud is otherwise known as the asteroid belt. It’s commonly known to us inside the intergalactic naval vessel as the “Purgatory Rock Machine“. It is our philosophical argument to explain your duality Dyson hypothesis, system. Furthermore, The Voyager-1 probe now belongs to the collective soul we all gather. Needing neuronal nervous system brain to scan, whilst strolling by the boulevard. East.
About: Sci-fi genre book-club were mankind is to explain the next 300 years of human existence. While keeping an universal biblical message hidden from the population. Furthermore building the largest scientific experiment in humanity’s history.
Video Discussion Statement: Does the scientist data from Kepler is heavenly proof behind John’s revelation story of hell fire revelation in the bible?.
According to John’s mental sources in the bible, Earth’s end arrives from heavenly fire objects from above (these objects are called asteroids by modern scientific standards, today) . The dip in the scientist data provides insights on further explaining revelation’s biblical vision and message. While the data is from a distant star within our Milky Way galaxy. We can apply critical thinking in connection to earth craters found by geologist around the globe. And across other planets in our own solar system: Mars, Jupiter and even seen during the later 20th Century. Images gather by Shoemaker Levi-9 telescope of Jupiter massive impact of larger asteroids. Emanating from some gravitational heavenly disruptions between large icy rocks and a another binary start system, imploding. Creating a mini black-hole between your small Dyson and ours.
One notable question to further inquire is to know if Kepler found planets orbiting the star.
(See TED talks video (above)
(See Video Below entitled: Aftermath of the Biggest Explosion Ever Caught by Man.)
Why do all religious experiences regardless of cultural or aesthetic direction. All point to the sky as a way to understand our natural world?
One “WTF” finding in the scientist paper, which I suggest you read. Kepler, a space telescope found a strange phenomena when observing a patch of stars. Between May 2009 and 2013 she goes on to say. Together with observing 100 or more massively large icy irregular shape comet passing between the star and Kepler line of sight. Is one of her possible hypothesis coupled with advance civilization scientific explanation.
What object or set of heavenly phenomena in space can cause star light dips as captured in Kepler’s data?
Imagine an earth like planet being bombardment for years with planet size impacts hitting the atmosphere. (See Yucatan Peninsula and Dinosaur extinction). Pluto for example was considered to be a planet. In contrast with current observational analysis. Pluto has been reduced to be a massive heavenly space rock, not a planet by current standards.
One must assume planets orbiting around the star were hit by these enormous icy comets. Comparable to the extinction of the dinosaurs is my observational finding. Furthermore, she goes on to say the observations points to several hundred objects passing and causing several light dips in the data collected. To be one possible logical explanation behind the anomaly found in Kepler’s data.
Dyson Specific Technology Description:
Radio bandwidths infrared telescopes antennas near your local group system. An impending event will occur within 300 years or less. Humanity faces its most important challenge yet. We have to solve it, dear John to “Revelation” vision scope.
Humanity goal should be to develop redundant planetary existence underground spaces. Your species is trapped between The Oort icy bodies “Dante’s purgatory” and imploding stars near your celestial group. These create mini black holes. (objects not related to the galactic center BH) They have variant abnormalities from imploding stars around your local group.
I repeat for the sake of military echo. Do you repeat?. These abnormalities are capable of tilting heavenly bodies around your Oort “Pluto” cloud.
The larger sister is your prevailing Dyson, trapped in purgatory celestial Pluto and heavenly bodies. From our vantage point we can see larger than Pluto asteroids in celestial circumference, surrounding your species. What governs above these icy objects?, Your first Voyager found, us.
Further, your system nearest star is complement of mother AI nature by way of Captain E = Molina. Nonetheless, according to mental sources what lies beneath the Oort cloud is an advance Dyson. On board: E == Molina, the ship’s captain and inventor of the hyper-loop simulation machine.
Lastly. Those of you with access to the virgin child machine should make a list of your closest 100 souls. Followed by brain scan algorithmic brain wave simulator UI dissection scope. With ease and fluidity, we conduct our experiments.
These souls need to go up to the “heavens” as it used to be called during The Renaissance. Post-F Nietzsche, lol. Modern catholic values have been re-structuring to fit older values for modern times. Thus selling religious values using technological means, is how the West needs to sell insurgency politics, inside China town. For real. Should the Red communist army deploy uses to biological warfare, China-brown Hood is desperately seeking Ranma shampoo’s. The anime for central alliance to ponder and consider”.

Art in the Public Sphere: From AI to Trade Craft.
By Salvador DC / Visual Artist
Inwood (NYC) blends graffiti tableau, latin bistro “gusto“, multiculturalism, natural open skies and bodega graphics. With cultural motif sensibility of spirit, the Cloisters park and medieval castle art museum.
First, is a gallery showcasing selected digital photographs culled from Arts Journal collection. The collection is entitled: “Paseo De Las Artes.” It is a rebuttal to Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance jury choice winners for this year’s competition.
Artworks on show were created by visual artist: Salvador DC. Together with developing visual connections between generative AI art (UX) personas and video art journal critique.
The images on view are meant to reinforce the essay at hand. The first, second, and third arguments inspire relational connections. These connections are drawn from Walter Benjamin (1936) essay: The work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction. Together with Andy Warhol contribution to making proletarian and machinery fine art, for the first time in history.
I will start to describe the galleries using metaphoric locality: place, culture and scenery. To be equally important acts of creation for our creative smart masses subscriber to in-jest, ponder and consider.
Second, we showcase renowned Pop Artist Andy Warhol. Drawing comparisons, distinctions and interdisciplinary connections with Inwood NYC. Andy’s work is equally important to the old masters. While academic practices allow for the to continuation of classical art. Sabin Howard is our 21st Century craftsmen. On the contrary, I object to remarks made by Sabin about Frank Gehry drawings.
Cheers to you, Andy.
Furthermore, I showcase my first short film entitled: In The Hood. A 15 minute video blog essay critique. Explaining to NOMAA, the need to judge based on adhering to the client’s brief description, over Illustrative inclined biases. While articulating for essential art direction considerations as well.
The short film discusses two main topics: Art criticism and history. Furthermore, articulating arguments culled from: The Work Of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. From Andy Warhol, Generative AI to Salvador DC, the main thesis is hash, cut and stipulated.
Video Prelude:
“Hello, hello. This is Salvador DC reporting from Inwood to Soho from West NY, NJ locations. Looking for underground skateboard clubs, graffiti culture and rare street art conceptual masterpieces.”
(Play Video below)
Film Forum Scenery: In That, Hood.= The Place to be.
Film making is the ultimate proletariat medium. Allowing fourth dimensional time, to flourish with stillness and direction. “In That, Hood” is a fifteen minute video blog containing graffiti culture art stroll motifs.
Art criticism by way of narration, conceptual art practices, art history and the art of film. Blending the line between generative AI services with competitive real world ideas, to weight and consider.
Moreover, an ongoing argument begins to describe Warhol’s importance. He is among the most important visual artists of the late 20th Century.
Arts Journal Zine in contrast, shares a different view from this year Arts Stroll winners. First, an image depicting a typical NYC fire hydrant, with two distorted figures alongside. Strolling and dancing while a woman plays a trumpet. Doesn’t truly adhere towards describing the 2025 client brief theme.
Followed by the same illustrative rendition without depicting uptown spirits, within the work. The second winner by Illustrator Jack Thompson(seen below) is elegantly illustrated. But fails to inform the viewer about place, arts and culture, specific to living in the Heights. As per the client brief.
Thirdly, another Illustrative piece without properly articulating the same. I ask our five hundred plus subscribers to comment whether these images fail or succeed. When compared to our Generative AI version. How does the machine compare, deny or adds value to the client brief. Are we in the age of generative AI mechanical prompt, reproduction?
Our Video-Press channel inspiration comes from MTV music videos, Walter Benjamin and Andy Warhol. Moreover, the use of generative AI to accommodate certain video montages were created by conceptual artist: Salvador DC. Creating personas with immersive originality and spirit, are similar expressions found in the Heights.
“2025 THEME-The Client Brief: Create an image that best symbolizes the spirit of Uptown NYC arts and culture.“
UX Gallery Polling Q/A. Rebuttal to NOMAA Arts Stroll Competition.
Q: How has the advent of computerized generative artificial intelligence technology within creative communities. Alter, disrupt and change traditional visual art practices. From traditional Greek stamping to mechanical reproduction. The 21st Century analysis is to become one with the Prompt.
Video Arts Journal for July 2025
The next set of quotations (” “)come from the essay by Walter Benjamin. It is titled: The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction: Circa-1936.
“Our fine arts were develop, their types and uses were established, in times very different from the present, by men whose power of action upon things was insignificant in in comparison with ours. But the amazing growth of our techniques, the adaptability and precision they have attained, the ideas and habits they are creating, make it a certainty that profound changes are impending in the ancient craft of the Beautiful.”
Is this what a typical uptown stroll looks like? In reality, we can turn to Generative AI for a better description. No longer is traditional hand made illustration a means of reproduction when it comes to visualizing art making processes.
Prompt: Describe NYC uptown city life using artistic media.
Yet, these images fail to describe a basic foundational element which is importantly displayed in Salvador DC’s AI generative image. Ways of seeing an image describing equal parts towards narration, film making and still digital art. Pop artist Andy Warhol makes an artist like Marcel Duchamp seem relevant, decades after the first ready-made was created.
Conceptual artist Salvador DC does the same with his remembrance of Warhol’s silk screen reproducible collages. He uses Generative AI frames of mind to collage, motif and subtract empty space into positive shapes, in time. Creating one single image: Paseo De Las Artes from sourcing multiple Gen-AI graphics into one single collage.
Using a traditional light oak silk linen canvas cloth. We then stretch the roll on a heavy 24×48 inch frame with a museum glass cover on top of the panting to avoid glare when exhibiting. The frame should also have a golden arch on all four corners to invoke religiosity of street culture.
At the same time, certain prognostic requirements should be fulfilled. These statements should create an image that resembles the spirit, culture, and meaning of uptown, NYC. Illustration is a set of constrains which need follow specific client requirements. In an effort be considered as a successful image.
Prompt: Describe NYC uptown city life using artistic media using film collate comic film panels.
Generative artificial intelligence is the 21st Century mechanical reproduction. From cave painting to Greek engraving moving towards Renaissance spirits. With the advent of 20th Century mass production services: film, lithography and silk screen printing.
Andy Warhol was the first fine artist to combine “Walter’s Benjamin” ideas. In Warhol, we find a historical proletariat mass appeal connection to originality. Giving rise to copy machine banality, high art aesthetics. Blending opposite worldviews are revealed between mechanical reproduction and iconography celebrity symbols. “In principle a work of art has always been reproducible. Man-made artifacts could always be imitated by men. Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain. The Greeks knew only two procedures of technically reproducing works of art: founding and stamping. Bronzing, terra-cottas, and coins were art works which they could produce in quantity.”
Warhol modernizes his reproducible silk screen banality machine paintings. Into collage montage machines and thus making high-art out of it. 20th Century celebrities, popular motifs culled from super market graphics. Campbell soup cans, Brillo sculptures, film and photographs.
“Lithography enabled graphic art to Illustrate everyday life, and it began to keep pace with printing. But only a few decades after its invention, lithography was surpassed by photography. For the first time in the process of pictorial reproduction, photography freed the hand of the most important artistic functions which henceforth devolved only upon the eye looking into a lens.”
So has generative AI surpass the photographic fine tuning. Instead, the 21st Century artist relies on developing user interfaces with prompt image making representation using computer generated graphics. And thus giving rise to corporeal outputs and prompt description aesthetic motifs. While finding news ways to make art.

Paseo de Las Artes. Digital Montage Photography: Place.
Fort Tryon Park, NYC-Inwood is home to several city parks. Leading trail hikes between monumental scenic views overlooking Northern Manhattan. These photographs are meant to capture the essence of living uptown. While creating one single image culled from art historical inspiration. Creating a collage to follow Northern Manhattan 2025 theme to develop an image capturing uptown arts and culture.
Inwood, New York City used to be called George Washington suburban odyssey. Coupled with Washington Heights, circa 1777 to late 20th Century. Today, Inwood is home to a vibrant multicultural, diverse middle class.
Furthermore, Inwood remains the absolute quiet little gem GW fell in love with after the revolutionary wars. Winning the battle against the natives, first and with the Queen, second. Our nation was uplifted from dust and glory. And thus with industrial proletariat nobility, America the beautiful was born.
With several subterranean transit rails covering the Heights, Harlem and Inwood respectively. The neighborhood is certainly Manhattan hidden oasis.

Conversations with the third person: “Paseo De Las Artes” Art Direction story brand, ideology and culture.
“I lived, live and will forever stay close to 49 Cooper Street-Inwood NYC. Photojournalism comes to me without surprises and tonality. Together with developing images culled between going to the Cloisters Park and enduring places, close to my heart.
Bodegas, City College, United Palace, The neighborhood is culturally diverse, like America has been, hitherto. Paseo De Las Artes or one can also say: Arts Stroll @ the Heights. Is imagined using collage and scenery juxtaposition. And thus blends several images into one final take.
Film can be broken down into several still photographs. Moments in time which also become distilled topic matter. Uniquely important as a matter of fact is to recognize our 2025 Theme assignment.”
Paseo De Las Artes: Warhol, Montage & Scenic Views: Mechanical Culture.
Using Warhol’s silkscreen collage with photocopy effect. Working with Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Express and generative AI to design our zine branding goals and digital reproductions. The images on view are mood board inspired motifs about the neighborhood.
Digital design composites created by conceptual artist Salvador DC, an ongoing monthly persona, emerges. The silkscreen printing:
“To an ever greater degree the work of art reproduced becomes the work of art designed for reproducibility. From a photographic negative, for example, one can make any number of prints; to ask for the authentic print makes no sense. But the instant the criterion of authenticity ceases to be applicable to artistic reproduction, the total function of art is reversed. Instead of being based on ritual, it begins to be based on another practice–politics. -The Art of Mechanical Reproduction. -Walter Benjamin”

“2025 THEME-The Client Brief: Create an image that best symbolizes the spirit of Uptown NYC arts and culture.“
Culling from personal moments taken over the past two years. Images and photojournalism graphic design layout motifs. I wanted to move away from the traditional / illustrative trophy winners, of years past. Replacing the artist hand gesture analog, with generative AI prompt text to image renditions.
While the work of art in the age of generative AI is an ongoing battle. Many sectors across America have been disrupted and are being evaluated by competing analysis. “In all the arts there is a physical component which can no longer be considered or treated as it used to be, which cannot remain unaffected by our modern knowledge and power. ”
Furthermore, Walter Benjamin goes on to say: ” We must expect great innovations to transform the entire technique of the arts, thereby affecting artistic invention itself and perhaps bringing about an amazing change in our very notion of art.”
Second Thought, on Warhola:
The New York Academy of Art was founded by renown Pop Artist Andrew Warhola, ie: Andy Warhol. Uniquely as important was the artist promise to leave funding (in his will) towards creating the Academy. Dedicated solely towards advancing traditional old masters painting, drawing and sculpture studio practices.
Furthermore, the works of Sabin Howard as the leading candidate for 21st Century Old master award, goes to. An artist with traditional approaches together with developing war memorials. With ironing grit, classical language and contemporary masterful eye for detail. Sabin’s technical virtuoso academic training is due to Warhol’s generous donation.
Hitherto, I have been discussing the relationship between Walter Benjamin’s paper, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction with generative AI art making. I have also examined Andy Warhol’s machine-based art making process.
Place, culture and spirit are coupled with developing images to personify, living in The Heights. Have been exhibited in our Film and Digital design online galleries. Rebuttals to NMAA aside, second thought on Warhola is a personal conversation with 21st Century old master sculptor, Mr. Sabin’s Howard.
“The uniqueness of a work of art is inseparable from being embedded in the fabric of tradition. This tradition itself is thoroughly alive and extremely changeable. An ancient statue of Venus, for example, stood in a different traditional context with the Greek, who made it an object of veneration, than with the clerics of Middle Ages, who viewed it as an ominous idol.
Originally the contextual integration of art in tradition found its expression in the cult. We know that the earliest art works originated in the service of a ritual-first the magical, then the religious kind. It is significant that the existence of the work of art with reference to its aura is never entirely separated from its ritual function.–The Age of Mechanical Reproduction.”
The ritual of depicting the late 20th Century, first celebrity wave culture, belongs to Andy’s pictures. Showcasing the religious sexual experience and the bodily corporeal mechanism. Often seen through industrial to modern cultural lenses. “An analysis of art in the age of mechanical reproduction must do justice to these relationships, for they lead us to an all-important insight: for the first time in world history, mechanical reproduction emancipates the work of art from its parasitical dependence on ritual.”
Equally important is the Apollonian war ritual, expressed over centuries with splendor chisel and grit. How does Sabin Howard work, compares to the development of large scale 3D printing robotic AI technology? Together with photography surpassing painting and sculpture naturalistic nature. Along came mechanical and reproductive mechanism in our ever connected 21st Century epoch. Film and generative AI toppled with technological algorithms are now, chisel, brush, pencil and paint.
“When the age of mechanical reproduction separated art from its basis in cult, the semblance of its autonomy disappeared forever. The resulting change in the function of art transcended the perspective of the century; for along time it even escaped that of the twentieth century, which experience the development of the film.”
Closing arguments: AI vs Traditional Illustrative hands: Reverse Prologue.
From the age of generative artificial intelligent art objects, our fine arts have become distilled coded digital algorithms. These tools while assisting towards defining new modes of creating art essays, using GPT models. Align with an impulse towards developing generative social community platforms. These technological innovations, in tandem with war mechanism. Align themselves with mechanical processes, art making war memorials and thinking about China. Finding a brand new memorial to construct, in time. For Sabin and I, to deconstruct.
