Hmmm, I'm learning since a couple of years watercolour painting, which requires time and dedication. I have on my i.phone an app called "waterlogue" which gives any photo a watercolor look, sometimes if printed on cotton paper they are better than my real attempts, yes of course I'm a beginner in painting!

But these are not my works, they do not contain my efforts,my struggles to do something, they are just a software exercise, I still prefer my imperfect paintings!

Anyway interesting to know all these evolutions (thanks for the link) and I'm not sure where all the images related arts will go in a few years!

It's all a bunch of marde Robert. Next people will be buying cameras that tell them how to frame and what to take. And, maybe even tell you which "high end" camera bag to buy; depending on the social circumstances, of course. But, then those people are uncertain of their own taste and need to be told what to do in all parts of their lives. Your taste in Art dies when the batteries are exhausted.

Best, pkr
 
These days I remember the Caves of Steel by Isaac Asimov more often...


On the bright note here is the full sentence:

"Artificially intelligent painters invent new styles of art" which is meant to be reviewed by artificially intelligent viewers, only.
 
Real artists grind their own pigments to create their own colors. Fake artists buy paint in tubes.
People who can't paint their own pictures buy cameras.
The pi$$ing contest goes on and on.

Yeah, and real artists mine their own pigments, they don't buy them...

And those who can't do, teach.

Next..
 
I think it was a couple of years ago that in at the Rencontres d'Arles there was an exhibition of photographs taken by I do not remember if a dog or a cat. They attached a small digital camera with a timer to the collar of the animal, oppps sorry of the artist :D ...

A decade or two ago, there was a shop on a Brussels high street specialising in this sort of decorative twaddle. Exactly according to the recipe : "Novel, but not too novel".
They didn't use software then, but destitute art students and desperate immigrés. Who were required to paint a picture a minute. Bold colours and a few flicks of the paint knife. 60 landscapes, 60 seascapes, 60 cityscapes, 60 bumptious girls, 60 weeping children, 60 psychedelic abstractions, all in a days work. One didn't need much intelligence to produce this kitsch, so I am not too surprised that it can be done by artificial intelligence.
But to call this 'new styles of art' is just so much air. Not even hot, this air is decidedly fœtid. And slightly wet.

Cheers!

There are likely many of "those" painters around, human and machine. In the 60's a west coast US painter named Walter Keane did a similar thing. He had local art students paint most of the paintings and he came in and painted the eyes. Or so the story went. The paintings were famous for the eyes.. Well turns out his wife was the painter and not him. But, that still leaves out the many stories of art students working in a production line in his studio when he was really popular. A pal owns one of his or her paintings. It's a conversation piece amid all the current controversy.
