Artificial Creativity and the Meaning We Bring to Art

. RSS

We talk about AI as if it is becoming an artist. But if creativity comes from experience, memory, and emotion, where would an AI get any of that?

Everything an AI produces begins with what we give it. Data. Images. Patterns. Input shaped by human lives.

If AI rearranges what already exists, does that count as creativity? Or is creativity still something human because it comes from an inner place we don’t fully understand?

Artists create from the small moments that shape them. Their work reflects what they feel, fear, hope for, or remember. Art becomes a mirror for society because it carries the imprint of real experience.

That is why good art connects us to ourselves. It wakes up our senses. It helps us slow down long enough to notice how we feel.It becomes a quiet invitation to understand who we are.

But there is another side to art. Art is also perception. Two people can look at the same painting and see two different stories. Not because the art changed, but because each person brings their own life to it.

Our history. Our beliefs.The culture we grew up in. The way we see the world.

If art lives partly in the eye of the viewer, then AI becomes a third party in the process.It creates an object, but we decide what it means. We bring the human part.

That may be the gap AI can never cross. For all an artist intends, the art only becomes real in the heart of the person who sees it.

And that part is still ours.

Does art reach out to the artist or result from reaching in to find it? →

Art has the power to change, inspire, and offer us a fresh perspective on the world. Each work of art, a product of the individual artist's unique journey, reflects a specific period, context, or stage in their life. As a result, the artist's works of art become a visual diary, allowing us to witness the evolution of their identity over time, fostering a sense of connection and empathy.

Art, in its essence, is a form of Philosophy, as it mirrors a desired and cherished perception. Wisdom and truth, rather than being discovered externally, are perceived and understood because of our love and desire for them. It is our responsibility to cultivate the vision to recognize them, empowering us to actively seek and appreciate wisdom and truth in art.

Digital Art vs’s Traditonal Art: That is the unnessasy question →

(No, this picture is only a picture of fingers, but yes, they are often referred to as digits, but of course, to some, they may be considered art)

Digital art is an artistic work that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process and is categorized as digital art in two ways: object-oriented artworks and process-oriented visuals.

Anything produced or made on digital media, such as animations, photographs, illustrations, videos, and digital paintings, can be classified as digital art.

Digital painting is thought to have less value because it can be printed out an infinite number of times, and it doesn't have the “only one of its kind” factor going for it.

Traditional art has a variety of mediums that have existed and been developed and improved over time. At the same time, digital art uses digital technologies to produce art. This leaves digital alone with one medium to compare to the scope of traditional art, but then that doesn’t rule out that it is art.

Types of Digital Art

• Fractal/Algorithmic Art.

• Data-Moshing.

• Dynamic Painting.

• 2D Computer Graphics.

• 3D Computer Graphics.

• Pixel Art.

• Digital Photography.

• Photo-painting.

Pop Art will show those Abstract Expressionists what real art is or isn't, they said? →

Not to be confused with Abstract Art, Pop Art was the art of popular or “material” culture and was a revolt against the status quo and the traditional views of what art should be.

Pop art was and perhaps still is a style of art based on simple, bold images of everyday items, such as soup cans, painted in bright colors. Some say that the pop art movement started as a rebellion against the, which were considered to be pretentious and over-intense. Is putting soup cans and familiar things on the wall not pretentious?

Pretentiousness is the attempt to impress, rather than the object of the attempt. Does putting a can of soup up instead of abstract art impress folks. Perhaps the audacity of it is really more pretentious?

Andy Warhol is remembered for the artistic presentation of a picture of a Campbell’s Soup Can. Some may feel that he is really remembered for his pretentious audacity. The Pop Art approach, that he is credited with being a early leader , evolved to include pictures of consumer product labels and packaging, photos of celebrities, comic strips, and animals.

Pop Art is a genre of art characterized by an interest in popular culture and imaginative interpretations of commercial products.

The Texture of Art

. RSS

The texture is used to depict depth and dimension. It is an element of two-dimensional and three-dimensional designs and is distinguished by its perceived visual and physical properties. The use of texture, along with other aspects of design, can convey various messages and emotions.

Some things feel just as they appear, called accurate or actual texture. Some things look like they are rough but are smooth. The texture created to look like something it is not is called visual or implied texture.
