About this listen
For this episode let's challenge the restrictive view of creativity propagated by those who demand artists “pick up a pencil” when responding to the discussion of AI-generated works.
We definitely characterise this minimal stance as “gatekeeping” and an ironic defence of a self-imposed aesthetic comfort zone, arguing that true art has always been about rebellion, experimentation, and a vast universe of practice far beyond simple drawing.
To illustrate this expansion, we invoke the radical precedents set by 20th-century artists such as Marcel Duchamp and Marina Abramović.
We think these historical figures would find the modern medium debate baffling, asserting that the idea is the art or that the experience itself transcends the instrument. Ultimately, we conclude that technology serves not to kill existing artistic practice but to expand its frontier, distinguishing those curious about the future from those defending nostalgia disguised as morality.
