It is a shame that all the Charlie discussion prevented commenting on this work
which is entertaining, clever and simple

there is something similar between jacksonpollock.org and your work:


quote: "The goal is for the final system to mimic the process developed by
the artist, rather than aiming at results exactly reproducing his way of
drawing a portrait. Nevertheless, the produced sketches are in the style of
the artist." (http://doc.gold.ac.uk/aikon/wp/?page_id=2)

Both works are directly linked to activities made by hands in a world with
some physical laws (gravity and liquids for pollock, hand on paper with a
pencil for aikon (?) ). They are ''entertaining'' because they let us think
about experiences we already had in other context, not on a computer
connected to the net. From my point of view, this is a new 'manierism'
(technique and artifice, imitation) allowed by technology.

Thanks
interesting comment. I have always liked "manierism". Yet both
jacksonpollock.org and AIKON production don't try to hide the fact that they are done / generated with a computer. The artifacts generated are of a style only possible with a computer. I have tried to imitate AIKON's production by hand, well I can't but it is an interesting "dialog".
