Where to find online communities of people making stuff mainly as a hobby?

ALostInquirer@lemm.ee to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 63 points –

Stuff could be anything, digital or physical, but the idea is of discussing and doing it as a hobby without any pressure or push to make it a business or side-gig. Nothing against that, simply that communities/groups with that atmosphere are easy enough to find as-is.

Shameless plug, I post when I have a fresh batch of images ready to go semi frequently.

Good lord what is happening in there?!

Can I ask how you make these? Are they drawn or are they constructed using other means like math?

Edit: I see now in the sidebar that they're actually generated on CRTs.

So I take two media sources that will blend to create some cool colors and shapes, I set up my camera in front of the CRT and capture whats on the screen. I then take those images and mirror them.

With the TV already putting off those clean lines between the lights, it gives that neat effect like it's all connected through the mirroring process. I'll see shapes and patterns develop as I go and work the image around them.

I just took a look at your how to video. Very cool. Is this a process you came up with, or did something inspire the idea?

Thanks for checking it out, it's a process I came up with. I clean out houses for a job so I'm always coming across old tvs and thought of ways I can use them instead of watching this finite tech waste away and get tossed.
