IT’S NOT THE MEDIUM; IT’S WHERE THE ART COMES FROM THAT MATTERS.
Let me ask you a question that will provide a clear perspective on art media. If you’ve finished a thrilling novel, a page turner, a story that you connected with, would it matter whether the author wrote it on a computer, a typewriter, by longhand, or dictated the story into a recorder? It’s the content that matters, not the method of transcription. The same principle applies to a painting and the artist.
A creator goes beyond the limits of working outside the box, realizing that there is no box. I am not the object of a modifier—that is, I am not a digital artist, nor an oil artist, or a pastel artist, and so on. When I paint, that is my medium; when I write, that is my medium; when I walk the doggies, that is my medium. You get the picture.
Thank you Barney! I needed to remember this. Been feeling overwhelmed by the flood of AI art everywhere.
I understand that emotion, and I am glad this gives you another perspective, which is what I was hoping for when I wrote it.
Also, when I use AI to proofread my writing, it most often edits out the theme and meaning.
