Algorithm, Image, Art by @machine_agency
An essential and critical inquiry into how algorithmic media reshape visual culture—from ancient optics to generative AI.

Lee draws on art history and media archaeology to make sense of the aesthetics and epistemology of machine-generated images.

The imagination of the artist does not arbitrarily invent the forms of things. It shows us these forms in their true shape, making them visible and recognizable. The artist chooses a certain aspect of reality, but this process of selection is at the same time a process of objectification. Once we have entered into his perspective we are forced to look on the world with his eyes. It would seem as if we had never before seen the world in this peculiar light. Once reality has been disclosed to us in this particular way, we continue to see it in this shape.

Nonceptualism as defined, with minor editing, by ChatGPT. Two definitions have been generated thus far, of which this was the first:

Nonceptualism is an adaptive art theory that suggests that certain forms of knowledge or awareness do not require the use of concepts or mental representations. This can include knowledge of the immediate, pre-reflective experience of perception, as well as knowledge of one's own mental states.

With a new instance comes a new #introduction, eh? I work as a visual and #textileartist and #portraitpainter in Oulu, Finland. I focus on #abstractpainting, #portraitpainting, and #textileart, specifically #taideryijy (#rya rug) design and #weaving. I find artistic inspiration from various areas of #science, such as #biology, #pathology, #botany, and #environmentalscience.

Any #ArtHistory folks out there have good resources to share about the topic of artists sharing "behind the scenes"? I'm thinking academic literature about studio visits, artists making instructional videos, basically anything from the world of #ArtTheory on "how it's made" type content in the art world. I think it's tangent to the idea of #provenance in #curation, but not exactly the same topic? Also related to identity and anti-"white cube" sentiments. Let me know! #art #history

Hello brave new mastodony world! I guess I'll introduce myself for posterity:

I'm a #polytheist #pagan and practicing #zen #buddhist #mexicayotl (a revived #religion based on the traditions of my ancestors in #mexico). I mostly talk about #theology, #history, #meditation, #art and #arttheory, #antihumanism and #posthumanism, #decolonialism, #transrights, #ancestorwork, and #monasticism among other things.

Hoping to get to know some folks here, as well as lure more people away from Twatter 👀
