A Ripple and a Whisper is a study for my scifi story of the same name, to appear in The Purpose of Reality (Meerkat Press, 2022). (Click on image for larger size.)

Since life began, lifeforms have evolved, quickly or slowly. Inevitable evolution in a ripple and a whisper.

The title comes from H G Wells’ classic novel, The Time Machine.

The artwork was evolved with the visual evolution engine (VEE), my software that seeks unexpected realms, and CYNDE, cyclic nonlinear desaturation, rather than using standard AI techniques to mimic existing art.
