Art is now a conveyor belt rushing past you, carrying symbols and aesthetics. We become meaning computers, gazing upon one artwork, interpreting it, and iterating to the next. These artworks contain cultural code that we in turn execute, just as a computer executes instructions.
Imagine completely artificial entertainment in the future, where algorithms create “art?” based on tracked patterns.
What does art become without a human creator? Is it still art? Humans can still derive meaning and pleasure I think.
Tending towards ultra regular, ai creates a feedback loop of the culture of the 2010-2020s (tempering period where less real art permeates the data sources), creating art that uses elements from that era exclusively, for the rest of history. (Creates a cultural gravity well)
The endless production and judgment of aestheticized short-form content conditions us to prioritize surface, conformity, and spectacle — creating cultural habits that mirror the logics of fascism.
