First two essays:
Mass Media and Culture Essay on Really Thinking For Yourself About Art
Every Good Philosophy Needs A Poster
a poster of my philosophy of art.
Evidence That I Was Involved In the Making of Pictures
The Question Posed To You, the eternal Skeptic of Your Own Adaptability
what tools are the acceptable tools where the artist is still the artist? and where did you get that idea from? did you come up with that idea all on your own?
and perhaps history has something to say:
the camera did not end the painter anymore than tv killed the radio star.
recorded music did not end the live performer.
movies did not end stage performances.
photoshop did not end photography.
and ai will not end any of the above.
even when the “ai makes it own art” it won’t push any artist or art off the side of the earth.
new tools demand new ideas and instigate new facts of art.
the artifacts were always inert.
