Bodhi Cyber Systems

 This weekend, I remotely participated in the graphics competition of ATK-Lohja with this work:

Bodhi Cyber Systems

It placed #2/3. Prints on RedBubble.

I used Apophysis, photographs from a kaleidoscope and a Buddha statue at the Goa Restaurant in Tallinn, the mage.space text-to-image AI (for coloring), and a screenshot of a Windows 10 screensaver.

The theme is "Buddha in Cyberspace". What kind of operating system would a fully awakened being use to surf the Web? Maybe Bodhi Linux, although I think it's more likely that they would not need the intermediary of a computer to do so - direct mind access to the WWW. After all, a buddha supposedly "knows the awareness of other beings, other individuals, having encompassed it with his own awareness", so why should he not be able to encompass the collective mind of the Internet with that very same awareness?
