I invite you to try it. Instead of using chatbots to steer toward specific answers, try using them as partners in that natural cycle of taking in, transforming, and sending out that drives creative thought. Not to get somewhere specific, but to participate in the endless exchange of ideas that moves thinking forward.
Busy, busy, busy.

AAA – Analytical Anti-Aliasing.
Today’s journey is Anti-Aliasing and the destination is Analytical Anti-Aliasing. Getting rid of rasterization jaggies is an art-form with decades upon decades of maths, creative techniques and non-stop innovation. With so many years of research and development, there are many flavors.
Magically minimalistic.

The racist message hidden in a masterpiece (via bbc.com).
(…) it is a painting from a subsequent generation of artists, Russian Suprematist Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square (1915) – often credited with being among the first abstract works ever painted – that reveals just how easily the colour can curdle from soulful luminosity into something rather shadier. In 2015, fresh analysis of the celebrated work (which Malevich said signified where “the true movement of being begins”) traced the outlines of a barely visible bigoted quip scrawled by the artist beneath the varnish.
Michael West, Woman Artist Excluded from the Ab-E Gang (via adinewton.wordpress.com).
The American art world in the era of the post-war boom of Abstract Expressionism was definitely male-oriented. That is the reason why Corinne Michelle (Michael) West did not receive the recognition she deserved. She could have been famous but she was a woman.
At around the age of 20, sometime around 1990, I listened a lot to Clock DVA.
Along with the thrill of electronic music came the intriguing lyrics and references: information technology, human-machine interactions, chaos theory – all enriched with philosophical and artistic elements, sometimes even brushing against the edges of esotericism.
The dark narratives were a bit intimidating, and the often cryptic lyrics didn’t help. Still, of course, I wanted to see and hear live what Adi Newton and his fellow musicians would perform on stage.
So, the closest concert was in Cologne, a little over halfway between Sheffield and where I was living at the time.
A friend of mine, who shared my enthusiasm for Clock DVA, and I drove the black car with white boys about 400 km to where the "black souls in white suits" were set to perform. We arrived just in time, only to find a laconic note at the entrance to the venue, written by someone: “Concert canceled.”
Bummer. We drove back the same night, quite a journey for a gig we never saw. The project went off my radar after I found their follow-up releases less appealing and soon after lost interest.
Thirty years later, I saw a Clock DVA concert announced at Flex in Vienna – and this time, I wouldn’t be disappointed.
