The world has massively changed from what it used to be.  Expression art and the human experience are much more on display now than ever.  As an artist growing up in the 80’s and 90’s coming of age for me, me and my friends went searching for where to distribute our expression and had travail after travail to get something out there.  We learned of the slow process of writing, picture making whatever form and shared it among ourselves and a few others.  The internet was in its infancy and I had little idea how big it would become.  Harnessing this power has become a goal for me, to express, find purchase and an audience.

The big label distributors of arts and art works of whatever type were big and lumbersome and slow.  Now everything is super fast and the opportunities numerous and overwhelmingly plentiful.  Is a place that now exists that everything finds interest and expression and can be consumed.  I would rather people only consume to come out happier or challenged or some other goal.  I do not want to consume just to be consuming.  I want more than what I had access to back then.  The world has massively changed and the world is also going to be going through even more changes on an exponential level that may see the rise of AI as a powerful tool of well-being.

What would an art AI look like?  Would start with mechanical rote lines being rearranged whether words or visual assets.  Then moving further in progression to things that mean something more than the awkward creations so far.  What are the essential elements that create art?  And can it be programmed into an AI?
