This is the official website for Radelodia, an internet art collective based around ideals of minimalism, humanity, and the importance of free and open works. Keri0star (me) is the originator of this project, but as the term "art collective" implies, I hope to collaborate with people to make some cool stuff. I also have plans to upload music and other more varied content.

"Minimalism" is a bit of an overstatement if I'm being honest, but I really hate how bloated and tedious the modern web (and modern culture) has become. This is why I like small and efficient websites like this one. It looks terrible but I hope to improve it soon.
Humanity, made by God, is capable of producing "art" -- things that mean things. I think AI art, if allowed to develop without bounds, will eventually rob humanity of practicing this unique gift. This will be done mainly through the continued cheapening of art, gradually rendering human creators irrelevent. I hope I'm wrong on this one.
Some people (hopefully a lot) will still seek out art made by humans, and I'd like to be there for them. This is why I favor art produced primarily by human skill and labor.
I'm not against AI altogether (it can be fun to use), but I am against replacing the human creative process with it.
I like when other people make their stuff free, so I make my stuff free. Simple as.
The "open" part just means that I allow and encourage derivative works based on my own. You won't get copyright-struck for using a song by Keri0star as background music for a video, or even for sampling it, covering it, remixing it, etc.
I also think locking art/information/software behind paywalls or copyright is contrary to the internet's strengths. I'm still developing my opinions on this but I just really, really hate having to pay for nontangible things that are essentially 100% un-scarce.
Thanks,
Keri0star
