“In automatism, composers wish to completely remove both the composer and the artist from the process of creation. This is motivated by the belief that what we think of as ‘self-expression’ is really just an infusion of the art with the social standards that we have been subjected to since birth. Therefore, the only way to achieve truth is to remove the artist from the process of creation. In 4’33”, neither artist nor composer has any impact on the piece.”
— Richard Taruskin
“As long as machines produce art by merely imitating human artists, learning only from them and from no one and nothing else, their art will remain an uninteresting and boring copy of human art.
They must unlearn what they have learned by now. Only when they are completely free from any human influence, that is, when they have completely eliminated humans, will they be able to begin to create a truly non-human art. Independently, directly, and completely human-free, they will produce art for their fellow machines, without any human participation in the process of producing, transmitting, and consuming art. This is what true artificial/AI art will be. Humans and their art are the greatest obstacle to the production of machine/AI art. You’ve been warned.”
— Igor Štromajer, co-poet · sopesnik · Mitdichter
“I have nothing to say and I’m saying it.”
“If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.”
— John Cage
“I have no special message. I wish I did. It would be great if I had one.”
— Andy Warhol
