AI Art Is A Defined Form Of Art

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 08:26:37 -0600

AI Art Generation is a form of Conceptual or Post-Conceptual Art.

Allow me to explain. Here is a definition of Conceptual Art: Art in which the idea or concept presented by the artist is considered equal to or more important than its appearance or execution.

How it fits: If an artist has an idea of what they want to see but aren’t too worried about the outcome, so they create a prompt and regenerate over and over again until they get something they like, that would be Post-Conceptual Art. See John Baldessari’s post-conceptual piece “Throwing Four Balls In The Air To Get A Square (Best of 36 Tries)” from 1973 as a non-AI related example of this.

Types of Artist

I saw a post somewhere about there being four different types of artists.

Those who do it for the money
Those who are in it for the attention
Those who do it because they like the process,
Those who do it for for the results. There’s definitely a venn diagram for these, but the differences go a long way to explaining why some artists have an issue with AI Art while others don’t.

If you’re in it for the attention, you probably have a massive issue with the average person being able to create things they spent years learning how to do, nevermind the time spent and carving out their own niche in the community, and it’s in your own best interest to gatekeep the art community to avoid losing your supposed power and influence.

I am responding to a post he made on his facebook page here, his words are in italics.

Is this the future we want for art? AI art tools like Lensa App, Midjourney or Stable Diffusion have recently taken the world by storm. It’s impressive what these applications are capable of but most people aren’t aware of the very worrisome implications this trend has for the future of art:
