Rare Bird (rara avis*)

Hi. I am authenktic and I am a rare bird.

  1. I write my name without a capital letter, without prestige, without ego.
  2. I have not one, but two pseudonyms (authenktic and Henk Verhulst).
  3. My © and ® have their own meaning (creation and rare).
  4. My process = my product (pulsating bright spots or small repetitive moments of happiness)
  5. Most artists distinguish themselves by their own style. I distinguish myself by my own form (the art of pulsing).
  6. I show that the art of pulsing is not just reserved for computers.
  7. In terms of creativity, I will always win of AI.
  8. I am not participating in the rat race (SEO) to be at the top of Google search results. I am satisfied with the position Google gives me.
  9. My story is about little happiness, but I call this the great happiness, which is in all those beautiful little moments.
  10. My bright spots are often invisible, inconspicuous and unnoticed. Seemingly useless and meaningless. But nothing is less true.
  11. Finally, my work has multiple layers and is a bit mysterious here and there. That’s fine. Not all secrets need to be unraveled. After all, that detracts from the experience.

* Latin: rara avis. English: rare bird. “Rara avis in terris, nigroque simillima cygno.” | “A bird as rare upon the earth, as a black swan.” – Juvenal, Roman poet (60-133/140).

Easter Egg

This rare bird also lays its egg. I have hidden an abnormality, breaking point, contradiction, dissonant, error, failure, gap, hiatus, illusion, joke, kink, lapsus, mistake, negligence, omission, problem, quest, rarity, stupidity, turning point, unwiseness, void, weakness, xxx, yo-yo or zigzag in every series.

Whoever finds all eight – I am authenktic and I am so egg-cited – can submit the solution. If you get all seven correct, you will receive from me … a very special egg.
