I just think that art economy should not be beholden to critical consensus.
Art is a continuum of multimedia. At some abstraction you will be able to submit your piece into the collective and draw on increasingly precise inspo.
as an artist, i had a piece of software. in this piece of software i was able to pause and rewind time, snap to keyframes and investigate every layer, every line, every point.
macromedia flash was my childhood, the foundation of my career in technology, eventually bought by adobe and shut down.
i’m really not seeing that level of fidelity in these ai systems. i agree art shouldn’t be beholden to any form of consensus, but i’m more wary of any art supply that’s leased, not owned.
Fair enough! I appreciate your perspective on this.
My art experience was programmatic art on Godot - by implementing algorithms on Wikipedia, painting in Krita with a tablet, and some modeling in Blender; FOSS save us.
Perhaps democratized or collective compute is next. Maybe AI as art itself is the new frontier.
