Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knows of some art software that's good for specifically making DMT art?

Perhaps Mandelbulber v2

I've come up with some fairly DMT-ish pieces after a fairly short time of tinkering with the controls of that one so, yes, it's a start. Exercising volition over form is tricky to impossible though.

Thank you I wanna try and make some art on what is seen but using normal art software just takes ffffoooorrreeevvveeerrr. Although, copy-paste reverse images was a helpful breakthrough.

To be fair, it's pretty simple to come up with some reasonably trippy images just using GIMP. And as far as quickness goes, I don't think Michelangelo was complaining about how long it took to paint the Sistine chapel. Maybe he was on an hourly rate.

I recently started using Midjourney AI and some of the art definitely looks similar to some of my DMT visuals.

It's not something I use, but I understand this is very popular here at the nexus.

Really interesting conversation. I think I'm too new of a member to post to that thread, so I'll just respond here.

As a traditionally trained artist who just started exploring Midjourney, I resonate with multiple points of that discussion. I preface this by admitting that I’m still fleshing out how I feel about AI/machine learning art and, at this point, have more questions than answers. I initially stayed away from Midjourney due to many of the ethical concerns already articulated quite well here.

I started using Midjourney out of curiosity; specifically, to see if I could replicate DMT/trip visuals. I guess there was a part of me that wondered if trip visuals are formulaic… like having certain prompts inputted (neural pathways activated, etc.) to create particular visuals/outputs (like fractals, etc.). I have been able to collaborate with Midjourney to produce very similar DMT visuals among other types of “art.” It’s fun. It removes the barriers of technical knowledge, color theory, perspective, etc. But, again, that’s the dangerous part…having the potential to exclude those who have that knowledge and skill from making a livelihood. In my former life, before switching careers, I was a professional digital artist. So, this subject is of great concern to me.

Above all else, Midjourney is prompting me to think about what is “art.” Is the original concept/idea the art itself and everything else unnecessary “labor”? Or, is there something about the hours of toiling away and technical skill required that adds to the art itself? This is something I’m exploring.
