My creative practice is fragmentary and to introduce logic is to introduce friction, like two opposing forces.

Like... if you are making a statement about 'AI art' in terms of statistics, well, the question really begs doesn't it...

I have many questions about AI on that forum thingy now. Especially, that they are apparently really important people. That kind of makes it more pressing, does it not?

Some thoughts on LLMs vs writing. >>>markwebster.substack.com/p/an-illusion-…

"While the press has mediated text over the centuries through mechanical means, the imposition of LLMs is doing something completely different." >>>markwebster.substack.com/p/an-illusion-…

While the short essay shares some thoughts and facts on contemporary issues, the above generative piece was inspired by Christopher Strachey's Love Letters. 1952. Interesting to note that he also inspired some other thoughts to share too. >>>podcasts.ox.ac.uk/series/strache…

Hyper & Cosmic, a beautiful art book from Mark Webster ( @motiondesign_01 ) with images and articles about his hand coded generative art / sentiment analysis Hypertype algorithm of text & symbols based art works. Some were exhibited at Mark’s Hypertype exhibition at Verse in London in 2022 #latergram #artbooks #generative_art #handcoded

Concrete poetry enters the computational age. In Hyper & Cosmic, Mark Webster @motiondesign_01 turns letters, glyphs, and symbols into code-based visual compositions — where reading becomes looking, and typography becomes image. Includes a signed limited-edition risograph print.
