1. This paper argues that to create ‘generative’ systems is a rigorous and intricate procedure. Moreover, the output from generative systems should not be valued simply as an endless, infinite series of resources but as a system. To have a machine write poetry for ten years would not generate creative music, but the process of getting the machine to do so would certainly register an advanced form of creativity.

Ben Weiner’s immaculately hyper-realistic canvases and films precisely capture the essence of their subject: paint itself. “My process derives from my interest in medium specificity, a practice in which art analyzes the means of its own creation”. “I am interested in the way a microscopic view allows a person an intimate knowledge of the workings of a subject, while simultaneously alienating them from their normal experience of that subject… the blobs of paint in my paintings appear alien and otherworldly, even though they depict the stuff from which they’re made.” From Artsy.net “Ben Weiner on painting paint”

  7. Yves Klein - Anthopometries (1960-1) “Klein experimented with various methods of painting, using rollers and sponges and experimenting with different surfaces. This experimentalism would lead to a number of works Klein made using a female nude covered in blue paint and dragged across or laid upon canvases to make the image, using the models as ‘living brushes’.” Via likeafieldmouse

Upon entering the room, there’s an illusionary effect that gives the impression of infinite space reflected on all sides and in the two inches of water that flows below.” Experiences of infinite space - Bits and Bobs
