Fall of the Republik

 

As i reflect on the last 4 years, it's apparent our national golum has managed to infect everyone's brains with his bullshit. And when we thought we could leave it all behind and move on with our lives, he just couldn't let go.  I was really looking forward to not making political artwork, but these are the times we apparently live in.

So how was this image created. By AI Generate Paint processes in Studio Artist V5.5.

I was using a 'kitchen sink' approach, which means that i set all of the generative paint parameters to 'Surprise Me'.  I also used the new fine tuned dissipative strategy as my start cycle processing for the gallery show run.  

So we're building static images using a generative art strategy that evolves what is on the working canvas over time.  I have to be honest, this whole approach is heavily inspired by the thinking of Brian Eno.  So we all owe him a great debt for marking out uncharted territory for us to explore in earnest.
