Modernist art and idealised reality When you look at abstract art, you filter it through your own beliefs and experiences. Your perception turns the artwork into a visual puzzle, shaped by your unique psychological makeup. It is futile to ask what the artist intended, because you inevitably interpret the artwork through the lens of your own life. Bring your own perspectives when approaching modernist abstract art. Modernist artists aspired to a universal, timeless harmony, pursuing the "supremacy of pure feeling." They demanded absolute sincerity, approaching the canvas as an idealised reality. Decades later, the world and art have evolved. Modernist art and idealised reality Looking through the Lens of Belief Your core values and philosophical outlook dictate whether you perceive divine harmony or chaotic randomness in a composition. Many pioneering abstractionists created art inspired by their spiritual beliefs, often expressing the unseen. The artist’s worldview shapes th...

Beyond Speed and Force - The Importance of Adaptability and the Bigger Picture
Lead like a Strategic Gamer
In any competitive situation, whether it’s a game, creating art, leading a new initiative, or facing life’s challenges, wisdom and foresight are more important than speed and force. The most significant victories are achieved by those who can see the bigger picture, adapt to change, and remain patient and courageous under pressure. Wisdom and Foresight: Keys to Success in Any Competitive Situation
Can You Really Game on a Mac Pro?
JJFB Bennett Finds Out—The Hard Way!
🎮 Gaming enthusiasts, Apple die-hards, and digital strategists, brace yourselves! JJFB Bennett, our fearless (and slightly stubborn) content creator, embarked on a noble quest: to prove his gaming prowess to his three sons. Armed with his Apple Mac Pro M2, he envisioned glorious Counter-Strike victories, lightning-fast reflexes, and tactical domination. The reality? A laggy, glitch-filled disaster that made a PowerPoint presentation look fast.
The Counter-Strike Crisis
JJFB’s Apple Mac Pro, usually a high-performance machine, became an uncooperative relic when faced with Counter-Strike. Bullets moved in slow motion, characters teleported randomly, and the game transformed into a slideshow narrated by frustration. It turns out that even the mighty M2 chip can’t save you from MacOS gaming limitations.
A Ray of Hope? Assassin’s Creed and a Long-Awaited Revelation
Decades ago, one of his sons recommended Assassin’s Creed, raving about its historical accuracy. Like any all-knowing dad, JJFB ignored this advice. Now, years later, the memory resurfaced. Maybe—just maybe—his son had a point.
Determined to salvage his gaming aspirations, JJFB turned to the all-knowing digital oracle: ChatGPT. The verdict? Macs are not ideal for gaming. But JJFB, being a “staunch old fella” (read: stubborn), refused to back down.
Enter Parallels: The Pricey Workaround
A new strategy emerged: Parallels, a virtual machine that runs Windows on a Mac. After coughing up some hard-earned cash, JJFB was greeted with… a massive watermark. Windows wasn’t activated. More money was needed. The rage boiled. Was it worth another $303 to fight this ridiculous battle?
What’s Next? Steam, More Chaos, or Total Defeat?
The journey isn’t over! Will JJFB conquer his Mac’s limitations and finally download Steam? Or will the absurdity of running Windows on Mac claim another victim?
📢 Subscribe to JJFB Bennett’s YouTube Channel to witness the next chapter of this chaotic experiment!

There is a Disparity in My Light: Navigating the Split Creative Consciousness Introduction - Does Metamodernism Oscillate? Clarity, I've learned, doesn't guarantee a smooth landing. While the core recalibration manages our internal mechanics, we eventually have to look back out the window and confront the final destination. For many creators navigating major life transitions or complex technical boundaries, this shift introduces an unsettling inner divide. The anatomy of disparity in creative practice is the psychological friction of a split being—standing physically present in a new space while your internal pace is still trying to catch up with the velocity of your transition. When we widen our creative intent, we often slice our universe in half: balancing cold, geometric clarity on one side against the messy, vibrant residue of personal regret on the other. Rather than forcing these halves to blend, we must learn to treat this exact contrast as our personalised map. Geom...
What is the Disparity Portal? A Metamodernist Commentary by artist JJFBbennett Portrait of a Metamodernist Artist If you stepped through the glass ring, which version of yourself would look back? A metamodernist discussion by artist JJFBbennett. A calm young man with wavy, dark cerulean-blue hair and a subtle smile stands perfectly centred inside a massive glass ring portal. He wears a simple light blue long-sleeved shirt. Behind his head, an intense golden sunburst radiates sharp, blinding rays. To his left are thick purple impasto swirls; to his right is a serene green valley painting. High-detail digital art, metamodern, surreal masterpiece. The Churn of the Unmade Look at the left side of the canvas. It isn’t just paint; it’s the heavy, exhausting gravity of pure affectation. I applied these deep purples and stark whites with a thick palette knife, wanting you to feel the weight of the medium itself—the messy, chaotic over-saturation of our digital lives, the constant noise. I...

Image to be added - watch this space The transition from the terrestrial to the atmospheric is rarely just a matter of mechanics; it is a profound undoing of the architectural ego. We board our vessels encased in the comforting math of engineering, believing we are merely shifting a physical mass from one geographical coordinate to another. But at a certain altitude, the boundary between the internal theatre of the mind and the external expanse of the world begins to fray. As the metal hull and the quiet murmurs of the cabin dissolve, I am no longer just travelling through the sky; I am becoming a part of it. Stepping directly into the stratosphere, the heavy, churning clouds of deep teals and bruised indigos cease to be merely a reflection of my psychological landscape—they reveal the fluid, boundle...
