I really love this. The original art piece is just a set of instructions meant to be fed into our minds and generate an imaginary canvas. Now we use technology to just feed the sam…

My first thought as well. It raises some interesting questions. Does the perfection of execution take away from the art? What if the meatbag artists were so highly skilled that the…

Because we can be better human beings by helping each other. Those private medallion holders made a mistake by putting all their eggs in that one nest, sure. But should the result …
