This is part of [PROJECT SPG](@/project-spg.md).
This particular synthetic picture has been created for [Tilde Town Zine](https://tilde.town/~zine/) n°6.
It's my first contribution to this zine, and about the first time I've
published anything in a collaborative thing.
When I discovered this zine, I was pretty excited, and thought about creating
various things.
However, time constraints amid a busy month forced me to find a quick project.
With that in mind, I've resurrected PROJECT SPG.
I had started this a couple years ago, but it had remained without activity
for about a year.

As I’ve said in [PROJECT SPG](@/blog/2022-12-11-project-spg.md), I've started this serie of artworks with the goal of using as much automatic
filters as possible in Gimp.
My previous art experiment in Gimp had mostly been pixel-art, and I wanted
this to change.
I've rapidly started to classify the different pieces of art, and started
developing a loose universe.

I don't know what synthetic picture I will do next, and when that will happen,
but I'll be sure to notify you.

The Pearled Gates are a B55 TSS-class SYNTHETIC PICTURE.
The Pearled Gates are a fabled gateway to a mystical land where the sky always shines blue.
Strange cybercreatures dwell there, including standing manatees.
They use their hypnotizing shroud-daemons to catch weakly-protected programs.
Then they use the entropy of their preys to feed their favourite food : the rare iridescent netmoss.
