Wat is kunst? - Wanneer ik er door getroffen wordt. Als het me engageerd, en verwonderd. Dat kan op technisch vlak, op vlak van inhoud of esthetiek. Als ik een ervaring krijg. Dat kan een leuke ervaring zijn, een ervaring die stemt tot nadenken, een ervaring waardoor ik mij verlies in het werk of net dat mijn mening over iets op scherp wordt gezet. (Tom Luyten) - Art is one major form of response to the world. It is often an attempt to capture an aspect of the world, to draw attention to something about it, to comment on it, to present a surprising or fresh angle on it, to represent it for the sake of exploring something about it, or enjoying or celebrating it - for example, the colours or shapes of an object, its eccentricity or typicality, the interest or repugnance it provokes.For a loose comparison, think of laughing at a joke. We do not laugh so that we can achieve a further goal - in order to be healthy or relaxed, say, even if we thereby succeed in being healthier or more relaxed - but simply because the joke has elicited that reaction. But although it is merely a reaction, laughing is, in fact, good for something nevertheless; it does make people feel better. - “It is self-evident that nothing concerning art is self-evident any more.” Theodor W. Adorno
Wat is GenArt? - “Generative art refers to any art practice where the artist uses a system, such as a set of natural language rules, a computer program, a machine, or other procedural invention, which is set into motion with some degree of autonomy contributing to or resulting in a completed work of art”. In this meaning a piece of art work is creative and the outcome is unpredictable. - “‘Generative’ is where you lose control of a machine which does exactly what you tell it.”
