Comment on Artist sneaks AI-generated print into National Museum Cardiff gallery
Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks agoThose artists at least had a recognizable and identifiable style. It was easy to mimic yes, but they became icons for the identifiable style. If Altman snuck this in to the museum I’d give him some credit for it I suppose, but the style already exists and isn’t novel or identiable to a particular artist. Other people have snuck crap into museums too. There’s no novelty or creativity or unique iconic style here. It’s just sludge.

And here we are talking about it.

If I take my pants off and walk down the street people will talk about me. Seems like a low bar.

If.

Yeah, it’s called performance art. You’re not wrong in disliking it as slop, but the barrier for what is art is empirically low.

Last time I did it the cops didn’t take that excuse. You’d think doing it near a school would make it obvious it was an artistic performance too.

Yes the bar for what is art is so low as to be buried.
That’s the god damn point. Anyone can make art. That’s the whole damn reason uptight asswads get upset when something new shows up and reminds them of that fact.
What matters is what the viewer think, if they believe it art then thus it is.

I hope this guy’s mother is proud then at least.
