Poetai, A Different Kind of Art

2024.06.24

Good morning, that lovely way to start.

At it again.

Another day another holla back not heart attack send you a back-in body shaking don't forget the bacon unless you're a vegetarian in which case there's Fakin' which is a great way to get your kids to eat some vegetables.

On to the next.

Been working on the blog.

A.I. is a fresh way to add to it.

And I love it.

What a great tool.

So much is visual.

The images created with it are a kind of symphony between what words can do matched with what long human memory can.

Is it Art?

Sure, it is.

A different kind.

Yes.

Because the words must be chosen in a certain way, comparisons must be made.

Metaphors constructed.

We put this word next to that, we make new images in the mind.

That's the writer.

We do the same with AI.

Each image is a poem, a stamp to send out based on the accumulation of many moments spent getting the words in the right order to elicit the picture in the viewers mind we wish them to see.

Each image becomes a poem that is a kind of ‘picture word’.

A whole new experience conveying a whole new stack of moments gathered for that one particular moment of viewing.

In this way we breathe life into what could become a dull scientific exercise.

Its intent is to be generous.

To share.

Our expression of particular moments put on display to share the experience of the world in a new way, to expand the watcher's own experience, which gives them a tool to do so.

That's what Art is for: To widen our means of expression to better tell the story of our lives.

Good art elicits an instant impact, the witness is changed instantly by the object.

Art is the infection of the generous sharing of one's own experience in a new way.

Art is the flashlight of a genius on an experience previously hidden in the dark, a light switch in a room never known to exist, an experience into a new dark the artist tour guides us through.

We see the world differently.

We're lifted or lowered, but we are changed.

We are more because we can experience more.

We have a new filter to understand our world.

Our eyes and ears become more powerful tools to understand, and therefore experience life.

We can be fuller, richer, in our newfound ability to express ourselves.

To tell the story of our lives.
