With computer power almost anyone with a little practice
can easily produce mess-free, endlessly indistinguishable variations on much
MAA, aping its simplicity and even its accident prone incompetence.
Computers,
especially to the surprise of Modern Art aesthetes, will reveal that there are
no great numbers of artists with the skills of an Ingres or a Raphael. Artists
from Norman Rockwell to Walt Disney will be no easier to imitate. Computers
will serve to sharpen competition in creating singular unique images,
especially since ordinary images can now be produced in ever greater profusion.
Computers
are increasingly able to simulate many former tools and mediums. They allow the
artist to make entirely new moves which in skilled hands can produce the finest
artistic work. The artist will need many former skills along with new ones in
order to use this new medium. Artists are now beginning to produce new artistic
dimensions without resorting to revolutionary manifestos, excessive
coffee-house conversation or overblown aesthetic theories.
hey poly,
ReplyDeletei really like your ebook and your efforts to make a blog that expresses a very unfavourable view of the humble few who admire artistic excellence.
since this article is about computer art (and disney, animation or recent illustration masters), how do you see concept art - as in the science fiction or fantasy art that goes into movies and so on.(Giger, John Berkey, Syd Mead etc? )
Do you think that can be seen as art (standing independent from movie or game production) and can it create a paradigm for valuable ideas like dystopian worlds or fantastic realities?
thanks! keep up the good work!

Sorry I didn’t answer you, I was very ill. Writing is very difficult for me, I prefer to converse. I’d love to answer you intelligent points but I haven’t time to write intricate answers now. Perhaps you would like to talk? I’m finishing my free pamphlet, Modern Art Future Garbage,... splat potsch schmier and writing a book about AI.
