Typewriter art, also known as ASCII art, is a creative technique where artists use a typewriter to produce detailed images by arranging typed characters, such as letters, numbers, and symbols, on paper. Originating in the late 19th century with the rise of typewriters, this art form gained popularity as...

A Plea for Difficult Images (A small rant about what I think art is today) Why does the contemporary art world embrace the ugly, the every day, the absurd, the nonsensical, and the visually and conceptually challenging? Why is that? You know this is the case because, 5 out 10 times, you come out of a contemporary art museum asking: What just happened!? What the f*** is this? Why is this art? Well, it is a long story, but let's start with something basic, like, pretty, beautiful images have been done ad infinitum up until the 20th century. Every pretty sunset, cityscape, landscape, still life, and portrait has been done before to perfection. You just need to open up a history of art book, and you will find hundreds of examples of pretty images. The challenge for artists after the invention of the photographic camera, which rendered things so perfectly, was to see other things. The challenge for artists today is to see the world differently: ugly, weird, absurd, unrecognizable. The artist´s mission suddenly became to ask questions and to think and represent differently: art is the place where we can have no certainty; where it is ok to make no sense and just present questions. Beautiful things still get made. Cute is still a thing in 21st-century art, But for completely different reasons. Beauty is not done for beauty's sake, but to challenge why we would, after thousands of years, still want to see beautiful images. Abstract art was once a f*** you to the establishment. But ever since the world tamed it, abstract art has become decorative at best. The last moment or revival of this form was called "Zombie Formalism" for it´s complacent visuals with "modernist and expressionistic styles,” which worked perfectly to please collectors interested in flipping works of art they did not understand from emerging artists who essentially crafted hundreds of generic images indistinguishable from one another. Contemporary art has moved into a space where artists tend to challenge art and beauty. They´ve become philosophers of the image, and in doing so, they have left many viewers perplexed and confused as to what exactly it is that they are witnessing or supposed to connect with. It seems that art today asks viewers and collectors to go on the same trip that the artist has gone through: understand thousands of years of art, read all the books that questioned why that was all made, and experiment with them in what can be considered art today. For those curious about art and collecting, they usually come to art with a blank slate and arrive at pretty pictures and, as many viewers for thousands of years, enjoy what they are looking at. The creators of those pretty pictures call themselves artists, and so it seems the system works. But when those pretty pictures escape the niche they are produced in and try to mingle with the contemporary art world, rarely do they become accepted, because, the museums, the informed collectors and the contemporary art market ask the questions of why pretty pictures again? Why today? How is this advancing our understanding of art? How is this commenting on all we know about art? What are these poster-looking, perfectly designed illustrations proposing to the art world that we have not considered before? And so those questions need to be answered for pretty images to be seen as art. And pretty is not only an aesthetic concept, but it is also about the intentions and the way the artist is capable of expressing his artistic intent. You can have “pretty intentions,” and that, too will be challenged. Simple themes, simple concepts without historical and conceptual rigor, are torn down and debunked because why do we need pretty artistic intentions anymore? Why do we need to see images based on explorations of color or form, self-portraits as an exploration of self, the line between reality and fiction, and the list goes on... These ideas have already been explored to the depths of their possibilities and those explorations became movement in the past. To go down that path again is a matter of practicing or studying to be an artist, but the contemporary art world rarely could see this as a proposal to move forward the world of art. So, you see, a plea for difficult images is a plea to be committed, respectful, thoughtful, and innovative. We cannot move forward, as in all practices that thrive on “the new,” without committing to understanding and challenging what came before. Science asks this of us, technology asks this, literature asks this, and cinema, too. We need pretty images, but they should only be a path to something way more profound. To do and understand art takes time, vulnerability, and a willingness to change… not everyone is willing to take that path. (Healed by Jess Mac)

Here’s my submission for the Paper x Contra challenge, it's a tool I built called Visual Poetry. I write poems and randomly associate them with things like flowers or butterflies. I built this little tool that lets me turn the words in the poems into pixels to literally draw out any object (inspired by typewriter and ASCII art). I used Pretext to render the text and Paper to tweak the whole UI, and used Cursor to help me build it I was super close to the deadline and finally managed to finish it up just in time, phew!

Originating in what is now Iraq 🇮🇶 before 3200 BC, cuneiform script is, as far as we know, the oldest form of writing in the world. The recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems at the end of 4th Millennium BC. The first written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from the site of Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented. Cuneiform is one of the oldest forms of writing known. It means "wedge-shaped," because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh have been found. Historical accounts have also come to light, as have huge libraries such as that belonging to Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal. Cuneiform writing was used to record a variety of information such as temple activities, business and trade. Cuneiform was also used to write stories, myths, and personal letters. The latest known example of cuneiform is an astronomical text from 75 CE. During its 3000-year history, cuneiform was used to write around 15 different languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Elamite, Hittite, Urartian, and Old Persian. First developed by scribes as a book-keeping tool to keep track of bread and beer rations in ancient cities like Uruk (in south east of modern-day Iraq), system soon spread across Middle East and was used continuously for more than 3000 years, up until 1st Century AD. Cuneiform is not a language but a proper way of writing distinct from the alphabet. It doesn't have 'letters' – instead it uses between 600-1000 characters impressed on clay to spell words by dividing them up into syllables, like 'ca-at' for cat, or 'mu-zi-um' for museum. Other signs stood for whole words, like our '£' standing for pound sterling. Two main languages written in cuneiform are Sumerian and Akkadian, although more than a dozen others are recorded, including Hittite, cousin to Latin. Texts were written by pressing a cut, straight reed into slightly moist clay. Characteristic wedge-shaped strokes that make up signs give writing its modern name – cuneiform means 'wedge-shaped' (from Latin cuneus for 'wedge'). The process for writing cuneiform on a clay tablet involved these steps : • Prepare the clay - Start with a damp ball of clay and flatten it into a tablet that's about the size of a hand, with one flat side and one convex side. You can use your fingers to shape the clay, or you can work on a plastic bag on a hard surface. • Impress the symbols - Use a reed stylus with a wedge-shaped tip to press into the wet clay and create the symbols. The symbols can be a combination of lines and wedges. • Dry the tablet - Leave the tablet in the sun to dry, or you can speed up the process by using a fan. Once the clay has reached a thick, goo-like consistency, you can store it in an airtight container. The british museum's department of collection of cuneiform tablets is among the most important in the world. It contains approximately 130,000 texts and fragments and is perhaps the largest collection outside of Iraq. The centerpiece of the collection is the Library of Ashurbanipal, comprising many thousands of the most important tablets ever found. The significance of these tablets was immediately realized by Library’s excavator, Austin Henry Layard, who wrote: "They furnish us with materials for the complete decipherment of the cuneiform character, for restoring the language and history of Assyria, and for inquiring into the customs, sciences, and … literature, of its people." 🎥© art.heology (IG) © British Museum #archaeohistories

Cuneiform is not a language but a proper way of writing distinct from the alphabet. It doesn't have 'letters' – instead it uses between 600-1000 characters impressed on clay to spell words by dividing them up into syllables, like 'ca-at' for cat, or 'mu-zi-um' for museum. Other signs stood for whole words, like our '£' standing for pound sterling. Two main languages written in cuneiform are Sumerian and Akkadian, although more than a dozen others are recorded, including Hittite, cousin to Latin. Texts were written by pressing a cut, straight reed into slightly moist clay. Characteristic wedge-shaped strokes that make up signs give writing its modern name – cuneiform means 'wedge-shaped' (from Latin cuneus for 'wedge'). The process for writing cuneiform on a clay tablet involved these steps : • Prepare the clay - Start with a damp ball of clay and flatten it into a tablet that's about the size of a hand, with one flat side and one convex side. You can use your fingers to shape the clay, or you can work on a plastic bag on a hard surface. • Impress the symbols - Use a reed stylus with a wedge-shaped tip to press into the wet clay and create the symbols. The symbols can be a combination of lines and wedges. • Dry the tablet - Leave the tablet in the sun to dry, or you can speed up the process by using a fan. Once the clay has reached a thick, goo-like consistency, you can store it in an airtight container. The british museum's department of collection of cuneiform tablets is among the most important in the world. It contains approximately 130,000 texts and fragments and is perhaps the largest collection outside of Iraq. The centerpiece of the collection is the Library of Ashurbanipal, comprising many thousands of the most important tablets ever found. The significance of these tablets was immediately realized by Library’s excavator, Austin Henry Layard, who wrote: "They furnish us with materials for the complete decipherment of the cuneiform character, for restoring the language and history of Assyria, and for inquiring into the customs, sciences, and … literature, of its people." 🎥© art.heology (IG) © British Museum #archaeohistories

I love finding artists that are really giving a lot of thought to how they are creating their art with AI and why. The most interesting way to think about AI art works I´ve come across lately is from Jason Handshsu: "I've been teaching a class on technology and it's forced me to really examine the topics at hand. Reading essays by established art historians in the late 1800's condemning photography as incapable of contributing to the knowledge of art, even 50 years after its invention, really highlights how easy it is for people to misidentify fundamentally what something can do. A lot of those interpretations in the past didn't recognize, at the heart of photography was the capturing of light, and that the exploration of photography inherently relies on modeling the behavior of light. With machine learning, what it captures is concepts. So in order to explore image generation, it requires a person to model the conceptual space of language and images". This idea is one step closer to finding the "what is this tool doing". Very excited to be collaborating with him for The present and future is pretty exciting.

Ghibli is just one art form, slowly and gradually AI is going to destroy many art forms in the name of “Instant”. It may seem fun for now, but let’s give a thought to those who’ve put years of blood and sweat to learn the art or create the art form. It’s unjust to them.

Here is DLSS5 working on an animation I made in Unreal. It uses the existing geometry, animation, textures and lighting to render. It doesn't make stuff up out of thin air. There is zero generative AI. This is the exact use of AI that people have wanted. As a tool where artists maintain full art direction. Neural rendering makes creating amazing art with real 3D models easier and more accessible. All 3D artists should be excited. Here is another explanation by Daniel Vávra ⚔ Is this a 3D model? I encourage you to create a 3D model or animation sometime and try it out for yourself, it can be fun creating something!

With immense joy and a profound sense of honor, I announce the acquisition of Refik Anadol ‘s — Machine Hallucinations — MoMA' by MoMA The Museum of Modern Art. This pivotal moment has been made possible through the generous contribution by the #RFCCollection, led by Desiree Casoni and myself, alongside 1OF1 , spearheaded by Ryan Zurrer. This acquisition not only marks a grand milestone in Refik's remarkable journey but also inscribes a historic chapter in modern art, as MoMA welcomes the first tokenized artwork into its esteemed permanent collection. 'Unsupervised' transcends a digital installation; it's a visionary expedition into the core of artistic evolution, employing generative artificial intelligence to reinterpret and reimagine over two centuries of MoMA’s rich artistic archive. Through this pioneering venture, Refik orchestrates a mesmerizing dance of data aesthetics with emotive narratives, creating a living tapestry of art that breathes and evolves with environmental stimuli on a grand media wall, unveiling new visual forms and narrating a captivating tale of art's dynamic journey. The exhibition has resonated across the global art scene, captivating audiences of diverse backgrounds and elevating digital art into broader realms of recognition. 'Unsupervised' unfolds into a profound reflection on technology's role in augmenting the creative process, resonating deeply with today’s global audience.

Cuneiform is a system of writing that was invented by Sumerians of ancient Mesopotamia. Believed to have been created sometime during 4th Millennium BC (between 3500-3000 BC), this script is regarded as the earliest known form of writing. Cuneiform became an unreadable script as its use came to an end. Nevertheless, this writing system has been preserved in the archaeological record, thanks mainly due to the clay tablets they were written on. The recording of a spoken language, emerged from earlier recording systems at the end of the 4th Millennium BC. The first written language in Mesopotamia is called Sumerian. Most of early tablets come from the site of Uruk, in southern Mesopotamia, and it may have been here that this form of writing was invented. It was only during 19th Century that cuneiform was finally deciphered and scholars could begin to understand the texts that were written in this ancient script. Cuneiform is one of the oldest forms of writing known. It means "wedge-shaped," because people wrote it using a reed stylus cut to make a wedge-shaped mark on a clay tablet. Letters enclosed in clay envelopes, as well as works of literature, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh have been found. Historical accounts have also come to light, as have huge libraries such as that belonging to Assyrian king, Ashurbanipal. Cuneiform writing was used to record a variety of information such as temple activities, business and trade. Cuneiform was also used to write stories, myths, and personal letters. The latest known example of cuneiform is an astronomical text from 75 CE. During its 3000-year history, cuneiform was used to write around 15 different languages including Sumerian, Akkadian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Elamite, Hittite, Urartian, and Old Persian. First developed by scribes as a book-keeping tool to keep track of bread and beer rations in ancient cities like Uruk (in south east of modern-day Iraq), system soon spread across Middle East and was used continuously for more than 3000 years, up until 1st Century AD.
