FiTC: Notes from The Blind Sketchmaker

2007-04-24 John Winkelman

The Blind Sketchmaker- exploring evolutionary and generative art with Flash
Mario Klingemann – quasimondo.com

Can computers create art all by themselves?

No: Only artists can create art.

[stuff about art as a system of belief]

art happens because our brains want an assignment after the basic work is done:

color – find food
danger – pattern matching
aim/estimate distance
orient/find your way home
-select mating partner
-protect and care for offspring
-learn new things
-get bored

What makes it art? Good networking

is it art or not?

If not Art can computers at least create art?
can computers create interesting pictures?
Maybe.

Learning to see
-The more you know, the more you see
-What do we have to look for?
-How can we tell art from noise?
-How can a program “See” after all?

This session = Too much art, not enough generative.

This session has nothing to do with anything. I just wasted an hour.

Well, he pulled it together a little bit in the last five minutes, showing us how his tool creates generative art…based on the “Biomorph” experiments of Richard Dawkins.

It has created some badass art.

Great tool, fantastic experiment, boring session

Don't like "Show, don't tell?" Try: "Demonstrate, don't lecture." Characters use words & deeds. #writetip #characters #scenes

But the archbishop gladly still serve Holy Communion to pro-death penalty politicians.

And the death penalty, unlike abortion, was actually something Christ spoke out against.

In case you thought this had anything to do with Christ. https://twitter.com/sfchronicle/status/1527733939275702274

JUST IN: The San Francisco archbishop issued a notice Friday that he would no longer allow House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to receive Communion, an escalation of his feud with the Catholic Democrat over abortion politics. https://trib.al/Q3mKsI0
