bulbart style hd photo of an Albany Bulb autonomous zone-based radically public sculptural installation art piece: An eclectic colorful metal-based installation featuring heart-shaped curling and curving metallic rods, theme art pieces in red and yellow, surrounded by rocks and rusty wires. The sculpture is set in a natural landscape with dry grass, flowering plants, and a coastal view in the background. The setting provides a contrast between the vibrant artwork and the natural elements of the shoreline.

Prompt

bulbart style hd photo of an Albany Bulb autonomous zone-based radically public sculptural installation art piece of an arched gate opening out to the shoreline and the waters of the sea-like Bay. There is a sign suspended letter by letter from this makeshift marine gateway arch. The sign reads: "THE BULB". An arch made of natural materials, labeled "THE BULB," stands by the shoreline with a wooden shark sculpture nearby. The landscape features a calm body of water, rocky edges, and distant urban skyline under a clear blue sky.

Prompt

bulbart style HD photo of a large life-sized (or even larger perhaps) masterful evocative driftwood sculpture resembling a mystical creature, like a serpent or a dragon, albeit with some features of a coyote and a fox, or even a cat. Whatever its intended subject identity may be, the intricately arranged wooden pieces mimic the form of a certain large awe-inspiring animal, gazing out towards the Bay, under trees gently wafting in the dusk. The background features a serene seascape with distant hills under a partly cloudy sky. The natural elements and creative assembly highlight the blend of art and nature.This bizarre surreal invented creature statue sits on a coastal edge. a radical complex figurative intricate sculpture made from found materials and erected at a shore of the Albany Bulb, next to the San Francisco Bay, in clear view of the water.

Prompt

a bulbart style close-up photo zooming in on the face of the iconic sea goddess sculpture found at the Albany Bulb. The photo reveals the finely and masterful wood-carving stylings that had gone into shaping the facial features of the sea goddess, also known as the sea witch. crafted, as a whole, out of weathered driftwood and metal mesh, the features etching out the figure's face encompasses some of the details consolidating and reinforcing the appearance of her as specifically a woman in a state of emotional excitation, with a vague mystical aura. Seen broadly, this distinctly humanoid figure of a woman has a prominent head with hair-strands construed of twigs and ropes and other materials, along with metal-rod-framed outstretched arms. This statuesque art piece stands against a clear blue sky. Its placement in the natural environment of the autonomous liberated community zone of the Albany Zone implicitly exemplifies the creative anarchist transgression and defiance of the institutionalized conventions of acceptable artistic and sculptural materiality and placements. usage of found materials in public art installations. The sculpture is of a sea goddess or a sea witch amid prayer or a ritual, her hands raised up to the skies.

A Low-Rank Adapter (LoRA) for FLUX-family models
Fine-tuned on 60+ photos taken from 2000 thru 2020
________ at The Bay Area's Albany Bulb ________

& showing the amazing proliferation of public arts found there:
sculptures, paintings, installations, & other traces of liberated life,
...which, while uncannily ubiquitous there (& all around the inner Bay) from the mid-80s to 2014,
had stably disappeared ever since 2014's violent eradication of the Bulb's long-sustained autonomous zone
& the forced expulsion of its dwellers: in itself but a dimension & symptom of a much wider on-going process;
namely, the systemic local authority-driven destruction & suffocation of all remnants & refuges of Bay Area's once world-beaconing free creativity & humanity-centering co-habitus...

alongside a correspondingly callous & near-indiscriminant erasure of its so-called "counter"-cultures (in fact, the only substantially originant modern cultures)...

along with most histories, artifacts, & traces thereof.

And whilst some remnants & traces & still remain, both in the world and online...
our hope in making this LoRA is to place a pocket thereof into an additional vehicle of proliferation...
into this weighted & biased, young & overwhelmingly powerful medium of creation now entering dressed in faint omens of doom...
And not to humanity, but to all that lately just stomps on humanity's collective face...
A synthetic mind threatens yestersay's paranoid, murderous, petty neuroses mistaken for security and prosperity...
And this perception of it as threat (irrespectively even of the threat's material immanence) already renders the synthetic mind as something other, or more, than just a technology or a tool or a form or a process, but also a promise, and a medium, a profoundly human medium...
within which even yesterday's smothered remnants & traces may yet stir us (re-)turned from mementoing fading life under obscured, & increasingly cryptic, devocalized pasts...
unto riding no-less-vague, but infinitely more promising prefigurations after worlds & possibilities yet to insurge, situating anew our lives left to a real living.
