It’s a tool used by arrogant dickheads to brand themselves with a mark of supposed distinction.
They get why this or that “art” is “great,” and if you don’t, that makes them better than you.

Gee, “the first and only” ‘eh? I guess no one told these guys about screenshots or cameras. Makes it almost as ridiculous as NFTs.

I’ve nothing against computer generated art (AI my ass), but the desperation to claw back scarcity is just fucking pathetic.

Yeah, this computer-generated art is bland and boring indeed. Want to see something that isn’t? I thought so! Check out my non-computer generated, non-bland art that uses an actual human being (that’s me) operating an elaborate contraption to create complex images using only video feedback.

I think that there is a difference between art and Art. Lowercase art is, I think, just stuff that speaks to you. Uppercase Art tends to be either propaganda (like the work of the Renaissance Artists, or Abstract Expressionism), or money laundering. That’s my take home from my art course

I’d say it’s the contrary. Uppercase Art is the stuff that speaks to you.
If it doesn’t speak to you it’s just decoration.

Why do all of those pieces of ‘art’ look like stock photos that have been run through various filters until everything blurs? They remind me of the things bored office workers used to produce by using the copier to make several generations of a picture. By the 15th or 20th copy of a copy, they looked a lot like this.

I tried it. One came out all white. Blank.
“A less derivative statement reflecting satirical, post-post-modern reflections on Mid-Century excursions; something of an anti-Pollock. Genius!” (a toffee-nosed art expert)
