What if the image is actually the least interesting part of making a painting?

Thoughts on Dumb Art

1. I think there is a class component, class defines if you lean harder to being extracted from, or receive on RoI. I think the underlying extractivism is what makes people angry about AI, even if they can’t articulate t…

Why does “handmade” feel like a moral position right now?

Indeed, art has become mere rendering, not process. Maybe related to the turn to the right where “common sense” “I call it as I see it” surface is substance conservativism? Even Lev Manovich (who has an ongoing drawing p…

Thoughts on Dumb Art

There is indeed something uncanny/oneiric about these works... I can’t quite pinpoint what it is.

I do believe the AR glasses are a solution to this somehow, but I will wait for the AR prescription contacts please! No telemetries but with full experience.

Five years after 2021: Where is digital art heading to?

Bravo!

An Artist’s Life, Part 2 | Rafaël Rozendaal Experiments With Painting

I find the premise uncomfortable because it seems to accept painting’s obsolescence on digital culture’s terms. Painting becomes another image in circulation, its material, historical and embodied intelligence subordinat…

Edward Ihnatowicz’s Senster of 1970

What are your digital art "classics"?

1. George Legrady’s “Pockets Full of Memories,” 2001 (The first artwork I learned about that uses a neural network to create images) 2. David Rokeby’s “The Giver of Names (1990-)” (Got to experience this one in person)

What are your digital art "classics"?

I’m a firm believer that initiatives like this make the digital art space infinitely more interesting. This feels authentic, native, and genuinely explorative of what digital can do, rather than an attempt to fit in with…

On Digital Art’s Physical Demands

@joanakawaharalino I can’t find where to reply to your last comment so I will put it here: Honestly? Mostly no. Or rather, the word that survived was usually someone else's. With Tale of Tales we got so tired of "is it a…

An Interview with Olia Lialina

Thank you, Auriea. The "what is a game" story landed for me. I think anyone who has spent years explaining what they do to people who arrived with a different definition knows that exhaustion, and I understand why "digit…

An Interview with Olia Lialina

That’s a whole question... I find myself agreeing with Olia in that “digital” is a call for calm... I call myself a “digital artist” so that I don’t have to explain myself all the time. I remember fighting over “what is …

An Interview with Olia Lialina

I would LOVE to hear our community’s thoughts on this, because thirty years in and Lialina says the fight has mostly been over words. "A lot of my 30 years as a net artist have been about fighting over words and their me…

An Interview with Olia Lialina

Oh just a little! There’s much more that I am keeping close to the vest. I’ll elaborate a bit more on my personal findings in Pixel Art world. Just as the writer or illustrator meticulously sets the stage for creation, t…

Are you yearning for the past?

I’m completely in agreement here @jamesmerrill but fear your secret is out ..

Are you yearning for the past?

I am secretly obsessed with pixel art, and it’s a goal of mine to begin really foraging through generative pixel art systems. On one hand, a good pixel artist is making critical decisions on a pixel-by-pixel basis, caref…

Are you yearning for the past?

I love the way they created such an appropriate dialogue between art and technology, especially considering Shenzhen’s industrial history!

A Prototype of the Future | Shenzhen’s First Art and Technology Biennale

Thank you Joana! On the digital-native galleries makes sense when it’s framed this way. I was just wondering whether digital-native galleries operate strictly within world 2 and 4 context or is there also something beyon…

Seven Worlds of Digital Art | A Visitor’s Guide

Hi Ivona, thank you for this thoughtful comment. I read a few of your points a little differently. On the digital-native galleries: I took Lev's worlds to be defined by who validates the work and on what terms, not by th…
