Art is not the medium.
The medium can be material or conceptual, permanent or fleating, truthful or fictional, of human, animal, or artificial origin.
Art is the reconveyance of human emotion or experience to another via some medium.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net You are conflating “aiming your eyes at” with “viewing art”. These are fundamentally different activities.
@darch@neotxt.dk What do you mean when you say that art is a lie?
@prologic@twtxt.net @carsten@yarn.zn80.net
(1) You go to the store and buy a microwave pizza. You go home, put it in the microwave, heat it up. Maybe it’s not quite the way you like it, so you put some red pepper on it, maybe some oregano.
Are you a pizza chef? No. Do we know what your cooking is like? Also no.
(2) You create a prompt for StableDiffusion to make a picture of an elephant. What pops out isn’t quite to your liking. You adjust the prompt, tweak it a bunch, till the elephant looks pretty cool.
Are you an artist? No. Do we know what your art is like? Also no.
The elephant is “fake art” in a similar sense to how a microwave pizza is “fake pizza”. That’s what I meant by that word. The microwave pizza is a sort of “simulation of pizza”, in this sense. The generated elephant picture is a simulation of art, in a similar sense, though it’s even worse than that and is probably more of a simulacrum of art since you can’t “consume” an AI-generated image the way you “consume” art.
@carsten@yarn.zn80.net @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I also think it is best called fake. Art is created by human beings, for human beings. It mediates a relationship between two people, and is a means of expression.
A computer has no inner life, no feelings, no experience of the world. It is not sentient. It has no life. There’s nothing “in” there for it to express. It’s just generating pixels in patterns we’ve learned to recognize. These AI technologies are carefully crafted to fool people into experiencing the things they experience when they look at human-made art, but it is an empty experience.

Pluriverse instead of Metaverse
This artifact is a follow-up to A Declaration of the Interdependence of Cyberspace, where we introduce the term “pluriverse” and apply it to cyberspace. After the creation of the Declaration, its core stewards were joined by others who were moved by the vision of that artifact, and together, formed Verses. We are a multidisciplinary arts and research collective co-imagining, practicing, and building a commonly-held digital future. ⌘ Read more
