Art VS Machine

A hard-rocking, garage, female, punk band singing about a Martian invasion, being hypnotize by the Martians...you'll see. The humans fight back in extraordinary fashion. This is made 100% from scratch out of the digital ether, and ain't that an amazing thing? All AI imagery, animations, music, lyrics, video and audio editing, by me. So far it's a thankless task, but that won't stop me. Nooooo, siiiiiiir.

An argument in defense of artists having the freedom to explore stylistically, despite market demands that artists work in one easily recognizable style that can be commodified for the marketplace. Includes works by multiple living and dead artists, including de Kooning, Gerhard Richter, Max Ernst, Picasso, Pollock, Rothko, Hans Hofmann, etc. Also includes 25 styles I have personally explored.

A 2021 thorough examination of all things Salvator Mundi, including the arguments for and against authenticity, with their rebuttals, and showcasing my digital recreation of the painting. Is it by Leonardo da Vinci? Who else could have painted it? What is the simple secret the experts know but hide from the public? Does the restoration go too far? What would the painting really have looked like? If you've seen my first or second Salvator Mundi video, this one is not a continuation, but an all-encompassing, stand alone version. There's overlap in what I cover, but its all new content (except transitions). Use the time stamp to navigate as desired.

Why is blue-chip contemporary art unpopular with artists outside of the contemporary art community? The big name artists seem indifferent to whether legions of other artists like their work or not. Artists are not the target audience. Contemporary art is being made for the ultra rich buyer class: for their tastes, their station, and their beliefs. Much of this art is threadbare, and merely aspires to take candy away from billionaire babies. Nevertheless, the rest of us get this thin gruel crammed down our throats, as well as the traditions it is based on.
