if the designer of the Brat cover can get a conference talk with little understanding of how to export an image, you can charge whatever for that logo.
I love 032c. I love obsessing over finding new photographers stylists writers and anyone else involved in the zeitgeist. I scraped 032c’s entire existence to make rabbit holing easier - lists of every person ever mentioned, Pinterest (masonry) grids, credits, every image ever
@tescrealwagmi no a bit not related to the monet specifically, just a comment about "ai art" having a blurred line -conceptually- with art made by people which to me, it doesnt
its not ai art its recreation of a persons art, which came from a place of experiencing the world
art is and should be a celebration of humanity and the world, feeding prompts to spit back out "like" jpegs is void of any intention beyond just garnering the same old engagementslop
SHL0MS just demonstrated how unstable the boundary still is between “AI art” as an idea and the actual experience of encountering an image.
people will praise a work when they believe it emerged from one process, then recoil when the framing changes, even if the image itself remains untouched. the reaction becomes part of the piece. authorship, labor, taste, trust, tribal identity, all exposed in real time through public response.
that’s what makes these kinds of interventions compelling. not because they “trick” people, but because they reveal how much of art reception is constructed around narrative and assumption rather than perception alone.
the internet is probably the only place where a social experiment like this can unfold at scale, with thousands of people unknowingly becoming participants as the meaning mutates publicly hour by hour.
this is absolutely art. ❤️🔥
