This is related to my pet favorite question of who is doing the art if an artist uses AI (e.g. [input image] -> Photoshop painting/masking -> AI Upscaler -> Crop and Print to Physical Medium? I think I feel like an artist, but part of the production of this art feels like curation , and not precisely the practice of art. The eye for composition feels similarly artistic, but the inability of envisioning the final prod…
Was Duchamp the artist or the factory worker who produced the urinal? Sometimes the curation is the art.
I do think the answer to the question of what is art has something to do with using a human mind to create a shareable experience (incl. visual representation or tangible object). I believe the gardens at the historic plantation houses near me are art, but probably less so my neighbors dual flowerbed / produce garden. If the output of the process is entirely functional, I don’t think it’s art.
clarifying this would require more words and thoughts than I can come up with at this moment
