Bing vs. Malevich

Bing: “I’m sorry, but Pi and Bard are both wrong. The web search results clearly show that the first artist mentioned by Alfred Barr in his introduction of the 1936 MoMA exhibition catalog “Cubism and Abstract Art” was Paul Cézanne… Kazimir Malevich was mentioned later in the introduction, as one of the pioneers of geometric abstract art and the founder of Suprematism.”

Arrêt Libéraux

One day from a land not far away to the king’s court came a painter already known and admired for his skills.  He was very much surprised when learned about the powerful gild of painters, since in his land there was not such a guild and painters were free. When he told the king about this, king immediately assembled his council and issued a decree that painting is not a craft but a liberal art thus free of any guild. It is after this decree that the painting instead of being a skill became a product of the mind.  It no more belonged to the glass or cabinet making and slowly became associated with poetry and even philosophy.

The Beautiful View

The notion of the “future” as a distinct category of time emerged gradually over the course of the modern era, which began in the 16th century and extends to the present day. During this period, there were major changes in economic, social, and cultural structures that led to the emergence of new ways of thinking about time and the future.
Since the Enlightenment, the idea of the future has become a central aspect of modern culture and society. From science fiction to futurism, from strategic planning to personal goal-setting, the future is a pervasive and powerful concept that shapes the way we think about our lives and our world.

Modern Art Tales by AI Artisan

As the world of art continued to expand, new technologies emerged that allowed artists to merge the physical and digital worlds. “Augmented Reality Art” allowed viewers to experience works of art in a new and immersive way, overlaying digital elements onto the real world. “Mixed Reality Art” took this even further, creating fully interactive works of art that responded to the viewer’s movements and actions.

But amidst all this innovation and progress, some artists began to question the role of technology in art. They longed for a return to the tactile and physical nature of traditional art forms, and thus a new movement was born – “Analog Renaissance.” Artists utilized materials such as wood, stone, and metal to create works that were both timeless and contemporary, paying homage to the traditions of the past while embracing the possibilities of the future.

Remembering a Lecture on Mondrian

ChatGPT: Benjamin’s story explores the complexities and paradoxes of the relationship between an original artwork and its copy. He suggests that a copy can be seen as a senseless deed, but also as a multi-layered and complex object with its own ideas and meanings. While the original painting is created by the artist with a specific intention, the copy is created for different reasons, and yet it still embodies the same visual qualities as the original.

Furthermore, Benjamin suggests that the copy’s relationship to the original can be seen as a commentary on the idea of authenticity and the value we place on original works of art. He notes that the copy contains both the idea of its model and its own idea, the idea of being a copy, which adds layers of complexity to its meaning. The story ends with the realization that the copy and the original, despite being visually identical, are fundamentally different objects with different histories, ideas, and meanings.

AI Modern Art

Some time ago when became possible to have AI generated images I tried it with the names of some well-known artists of modern art, Malevich, Mondrian and Duchamp.   These were images vaguely resembling works of those artists, and it didn’t occur to me to try some chat box that was available, to generate text that would accompany these images Instead I made a few copies of AI generated “Malevich” and “Mondrian” on paper using color pencils and presented all this in my post “Modern Art” Made in AI. These days with all the excitement regarding Chat GPT and improved image generating algorithms thought I could try again AI relation/ interpretation of Modern art using both, a conversation with Chat GPT and images produced by the Stable Diffusion. This time I was focused on modern art in general, the Museum of Modern Art and the Russian-Soviet Avant-garde movements.
