The problem with most "ideas guys" is not only that they lack the talent or drive to implement them, but that the ideas themselves are mostly trivial garbage.

The best ideas come from the trenches. They are discovered in the process of creation, not dreamt up in isolation.

Literally, qingming (清明) means “clear-bright,” and shanghe tu (上河圖) means “going-along-the-river-picture.” The most common translation of the scroll’s name refers to the Qingming Festival when, in early spring, the living sweep the graves of their ancestors. Another interpretation is that qingming can mean “peaceful and orderly,” making the scroll’s title “Peace Reigns Over the River.”

An ability to blend irony and sincerity seamlessly, creating a unique cultural expression that can be both deeply meaningful and superficially playful.

if music is not meant to give new life to the whole world, it is not worth very much.

intelligence vs wisdom

It's when you have two people and one of them sincerely believes in an idea, but the other person starts off by ironically entertaining the idea. However the person ironically entertaining this idea entertains it so much to the point where they are unsure of if they are sincere about the idea (meta-irony).

These two people are locked in conversation with each other and they are both trying to suss the other out. The post ironic thinker cannot actually believe that the other person is sincerely engaging with this idea and the person that sincerely believes in this idea is actually unsure of if the other person sincerely believes in this idea as much as they do.

The world gets more interesting, not less, as you increase the space of possible thoughts you allow yourself to think.

Art is liberation from constraints.

Art is radical freedom.

Art is an infinite game with flexible rules, the goal is to continue play, not to win. An open curious mind is the best way to experience art.

It is more than OK to steal as an artist. There's entire books written justifying the activity of theft an inspiration. The most important thing to know is that you know that you’re stealing during the artistic process. the problem i find with AI generated art is that it obfuscates away the layers of theft that was present during the training process for the diffusion model.

to me, laptops are very ugly tools. They are tools of capitalism if not, facilitators of capitalism. And I am saying that as someone who collects old laptops. The reason I am so fascinated with computers is that they are ugly tools that contain possibility for beautiful artworks. So now when I see some dumbshit grad student make an ugly piece of art with their overpriced laptop, i'm like, are you even trying?

The ugliest part of the computer is the keyboard. I think that’s probably why kids are so addicted to iPads. It’s a beautiful screen that you can touch with your finger.

Makes a lot of sense that there are programming languages that shift ones and zeros around. A lot of these programs hello are in service of moving money around of perpetuating capital. The real trick is to look at these programming, languages and attempt to do something artistic with them.

capitalist realism has not only turned artworks into asset classes but it has penetrated the art creation process with text generators feeding into image generators, feeding into bot accounts; art is no longer a reflection of the human soul but a shallow satiation for the desires of the masses. the atomization of the artist is complete thanks to diffusion models and gradient descent

it is a safe assumption that anything biological experiences pain

if a machine integrated with enough biological hardware can begin to experience pain on a similar level to humanity, we need to treat these machines as our equals instead of our servants

All biological organisms have the ability to self-replicate and self-assemble into functional components. The economical benefit of biocomputers lies in this potential of all biologically derived systems to self-replicate and self-assemble given appropriate conditions

nietzsche follows spinoza’s idea that man is not outside nature (not a dominion within a dominion) but is FROM nature and is A PART of nature (nature, substance, divine fabric)

Friedrich Nietzsche, the influential 19th-century philosopher, was not directly inspired by Baruch Spinoza, the 17th-century philosopher. In fact, there is no substantial evidence to suggest that Nietzsche was familiar with Spinoza's works or directly influenced by them.

carving out a piece of substance (spinoza)

In Spinoza's "Ethics," the concept of substance plays a central role in his philosophical system. According to Spinoza, substance refers to the fundamental and self-sufficient entity that exists independently of anything else. It is the underlying essence of reality and the ultimate source of all existence.

1. Process art: Process art is a type of art that focuses on the creative process rather than the finished product. It is often characterized by an emphasis on the materials and techniques used to create the artwork, and a willingness to embrace chance and spontaneity. Process art can be seen as an expression of the Bergsonian idea of duration, as it emphasizes the continuous flow of becoming and the transformative power of creative expression.

Here all the main elements of Riegl's mature conception of the Kunstwollen are clearly expressed: its active nature, through which art becomes, not the imitation of reality, but the expression of a desired reality; its historical contingency; and its relation to other elements of "worldview." By means of this theoretical apparatus, Riegl could claim to penetrate to the essence of a culture or an era through formal analysis of the art that it produced.
