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. Our current YouTube channel is mostly very bad comedy sketches, but rest assured we'll be continuing to make them worse. We also have plans to upload music and other more varied content.

What is minimalism, anyway? It's a revolt against "too much". For example, this website is pretty minimalist (admittedly not as minimalist as it could be).
Humanity, being made in the image of the triune God, is capable of producing "art" -- things that mean things. We believe 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. We hope we're wrong on this one.
Some people (hopefully a lot) will still seek out art made by humans, and we would like to be there for them. This is why we favor art produced primarily by human skill and labor.
We're not against AI altogether (it can be fun to use), but we are against replacing the human creative process with it.
I like when other people make their stuff free, so we make our stuff free. Simple as.
The "open" part just means that we allow and encourage derivative works based on our 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.
Thanks,
Keri0star
