Istanbul — the long period

FIELD Note · 2004–2017 · 11 referenced works

A dated trail through the Istanbul works, from early images to the later transmissions and commercial collaborations.

Archive boundary

The current artwork archive places 106 records in Istanbul. Readable `createdOn` fields run from 2004 through 2017; five Istanbul records do not resolve cleanly to a year. Within the readable dates, 2013 contributes 34 records and 2014 contributes 29. The location field is an index of the archive, not a claim that every stage of every work happened there.

Those records cross overlapping collection memberships: Geometrica (28), Beyond (26), Monochrome (23), Mythos (22), Esoterica (11), Universal Transmissions (11), Sacred Geometry (5), and Bio-Energetic Vortexes (2). The totals are memberships, not mutually exclusive shelves. The Istanbul grouping is therefore best read as a layered archive rather than a single uninterrupted series.

Early anchors and thresholds

Cosmic Ascension, dated December 9, 2012, places its image in the middle of Istanbul bus traffic and describes repeated reconstruction after computer crashes. The record also says the final palette was limited to blue. Serpentine Apotheosis, dated January 7, 2013, describes a move from traditional media into digital work, several years of tryptamine-state visions, and weeks of finishing and fine-tuning before publication in Alchemistas — Beyond the Veil.

The period’s language is not uniform. Holographic Mind, dated March 31, 2013, uses the hologram as a model for interconnected consciousness, while Copelandian Paradigm, dated June 15, 2013, describes a couple of weeks of work at roughly one or two hours per day. These entries show different kinds of self-description without requiring a larger theory of artistic intent.

2013–2014 inside Istanbul

The densest dated portion of the Istanbul archive includes The Fractal Wave (August 21, 2013), Copelandian Paradigm, and Holographic Mind, followed by Axis Mundi on February 9, 2014. Axis Mundi describes interconnection and a message expressed through art, music, poetry, dance, and love; its record is credited to Alistar Valadez. The sequence is visible in the dates and records, but the archive does not establish one continuous production run.

Universal Transmissions VI — Vehicular Dynamics is another dated Istanbul work in the archive's codex sequence. Renouncing Redemption, dated December 17, 2015, records a later shift toward family life, meditation, and the study of alchemy. Venus Exalted (April 10, 2016) and Inward Convergence (July 22, 2017) extend the dated trail beyond the 2013–2014 concentration.

Working record

The individual artwork records repeatedly name Adobe Photoshop and Cinema 4D, with ZBrush, Corel Painter, Incendia, Mandelbulb 3D, Mandelbulber, and other tools appearing in particular entries. Recorded connections link Cosmic Ascension to Holographic Mind, Serpentine Apotheosis to Copelandian Paradigm, and both Renouncing Redemption and Inward Convergence to Singular Sight.

Cosmosis — RetroFuturism is a commercial record connected to Serpentine Apotheosis, a specific association between the artwork and a release. The Mythos collection offers another index through several of these Istanbul works, alongside the individual narratives.
