## Content

1552 to be exact.. but over 1500 pieces of art were made in under 2 weeks - on my phone, on my ipad, the laptop, & the standing desk. wake up, wrk out, eat, create art, and then repeat it again. days of 12-15 hrs iterating flew by like minutes.contextfor non-artists, it is important to know each piece of art u learn something ‘new’as innocuous as ‘I have a preference for left-leaning asymmetry’as life illuminating as ‘I avoid using red because I don’t want to stand out’as uncorrelated as ‘I don’t like wearing this color when painting’now imagine what happens when u do one thousand five hundred and fifty-two speed rounds of that for 2 weeks… u learn quite a bit.the nothingso here we are 1552 pieces later (more in 2 weeks than I made in the last 3 yrs, combining multiple disciplines). will they all see the light of day?? no. will most of them ever be seen or sold?? no. maybe 5%. because what ai has revealed to me is the ‘process’ is not as ‘integral’ to my identity as I had previously assumed. the process of making art is very dynamic - digital painters today produce wrk differently than the woodblock painters of old Asia. now ai introduces a new wrinkle & it’s disturbing the ‘status quo’counterpunchthe most popular arguments against ‘ai art’ are pointed at the ‘speed, ease, & sale’ of this developing artform. ‘neo-traditional digital artists’ (::kek::) have brought up concerns w the strength of this new ‘tool’. it is somewhat ironic considering how they make art, but still, they feel this way. and when I first began tinkering w it I too questioned ‘quality control’. however, playing w ai has made it undeniable in my mind - this is art… a new kind sure, but art just the same. the ‘market’ arguments are not at all related to the art conversation, but instead the market conversation. 1552 pieces of art made later and it really is the tip of the iceberg.finmy hunch is ai use will vary more than current digital art tools like photoshop, blender, figma, etc - the production ‘friction’ is seriously reduced and the specific way u think is now the input data. ppl will be able to reach into the depths of themselves in ways no previous generation could. it’s shaping up to be a new renaissance.
