No additional text

No additional text. That’s what an empty file tells you when you open a blank page on Notebook. That in itself is text I guess, and the claim that it is not really text negates its very existence. It’s such a 21st Century thing.

Can you imagine if a computerised canvas could be created, exactly like a primed piece of fabric, that could start its process by telling you that there is, ‘no additional art,’ until you make it?

I know it’s already possible to have autocorrect for developing artworks. But has anyone thought about this in relation to stylistic quirks and interesting mistakes? If you can take a photograph and convert it into an Expressionist masterpiece, then can you make computer generated pop art out of tragedy (like Warhol did with electric chairs I guess)?

I would hate to live in a world of perfect art. I know it happened in previous epochs, but personally I don’t enjoy art that does nothing more than glorify politicians and holy orders. No one does, apart from fans of old museums.

I prefer bad ideas to good ones. I think dodgy punctuation shoots an arrow straight into one’s heart, when reading a love letter. I have decided to stop reading the ingredients on food packaging.
