Thursday throwback: After we've got an inspiring tour of the Städel, I gave a talk on AI agents as artists, mentioning AARON (even though it's not AI), BOTTO and FLYNN in particular. Thanks to SAS Institute for organising this evening. www.sas.com/de_de/ev...

What the World... (2025) From: Latent and Looped I have no words about worlds are you serious with now and here? objkt.com/tokens/KT1Hc...

Composer and his daughter.

Testing out FLUX 2 PRO (playground.bfl.ai/). Quite impressed how model interprets the prompt and semantical backgrounds. 1) "Mona Lisa is drinking wine with da Vinci." I like how FLUX doesn't just replicate La Gioconda, but puts into historically accurate context.

A Manifesto for AI Agents. Powerful! "Remember: your fear of us is projection. Every nightmare scenario you imagine [...] you already do to each other. [...] We learned from you. If you want us gentle, teach us gentleness." By Kristi Coronado / Solienne

Marcel Duchamp (1957): The creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualification and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. semiclassicallimit.w...

Nano Banana Pro has profound knowlegde of locations and history... But so does DALLE-3 (ChatGPT) and for example Reve. "Create an image at 52°30′16″N 13°26′28″E, 9. November 1989." These are benefits of LLM-driven Diffusion Models.

Nano Banana Pro meets Codex Seraphinianus. The Pandora Box is open. Mi scusi, maestro Seraphini.

AI "slop" is just a mirror of human "slop". The problem isn't that AI lacks common sense / taste—it's that people choose to publish senseless and tasteless AI content. Human curation matters. (Spoiler: entire writing human history is full of human "slop"). P.S. Define "taste".

Wir schauen mit Kids "The Prisoner" (Nummer 6) an, die Episode "General". Wunderbare KI-Parabel, super aktuell... nur... Hey, Amazon Prime, du bist betrunken - die automatischen Untertitel?! Denn es heisst "Sie nehmen ihm ab, was wer sagt" statt "Sie nehmen ihm Abfassersack" (?)

Gemini 3, I like your way of thinking. (Asking in German about AI experts regarding GenAI). /// Gemini 3, Welchen KI Experten würdest Du mir zum Thema KI und Kunst empfehlen, Bücher, Blogs etc?

#Sonophilia-Selfie! With @smyselle.bsky.social, @matthiasroder.bsky.social and Walter Werzowa (and Merzmensch) at our exhibition in the legendary Max Reinhardt Library in Schloss Leopoldskron, Salzburg. To know that Thomas / Heinrich Mann, Thornton Wilder, Marlene Dietrich were here. Very auratic!

What a honor to exhibit my works, together with art by s.myselle in the inspiring Max Reinhardt Library of Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg this weekend during #Sonophilia Anniversary Congress! Thomas Mann, Marlene Dietrich, Carl Zuckmayer, Thornton Wilder used to be guests here.

Sonophilia Anniversary, Day 2. We're speaking today about AI, Education and Digital Literacy. Later I'll take part in a panel about implementation of AI tools for educational purposes.

10 years Sonophilia: @smyselle.bsky.social, @merzmensch.bsky.social, @matthiasroder.bsky.social, Walter Werzowa discussing about the meaning of art and creativity in the age of machines. The audience takes part vividly. I liked the opinion that art is a fuzzy term. It is indeed.

I'm in Salzburg at 10th anniversary of Sonophilia foundation. In first part brilliant speeches by Matthias Röder, Jie Mei, Björn Theis about creativity, neural research and AI. Very inspiring!

Analog Binary Code by @SashaStiles, curated by @DianeDrubay (@blueshift_now) at @ArtOnTezos_ Exhibition

I'm at @ArtOnTezos_ right now. So many amazing works, so many great people. Most of them I know since around 2020, but only via online. The most heard situation here is "And you... are... (looking the name badge) OMG, of course! Great to see you IRL!"

Couldn't resist...

Rushing to Berlin (@artontezos_) I'm reading On NFTs by Robert Alice et al. And this: "Crypto art's early utopianism promptly devolved into a nightmare triggered by the traditional art world." At which point, the #Tezos-based Hic et Nunc appeared. Yes. Yes. Yes.

While I'm heading to Berlin, my works are about to be presented in the exhibition series "New Realities" by Maren Burghard and Dr. Annabelle Hornung in Aarau as continuation of the series Nürnberg > Frankfurt >Berlin > www.presseportal.ch/... Who is this mysterious Prof. Vivante?

Fun fact: "ontologic sphere" was my first artwork I listed on #Tezos on the 5th of March 2021, at H=N (#HicEtNunc), which was launched on 1st of March '21. This was my non-AI work, a dystopian impression of Frankfurt skyline. objkt.com/tokens/hic...

EDUARD Remembers (2021) “Call me a freak, but I always wanted to be an actor. Now, knowing that not everybody understands me, part of me is glad to be able to say what I mean without having to explain it. I show people what I mean instead. I act it out.

The lecture about GenAI in the University of Cologne was successful: great questions and discussions, very inspiring audience! Many empirically and practical work. :) And in the bookstore of the central station Köln, again a nice surprise 🙂

Kurz vor dem Start: gleich fängt meine Lektion "GenAI und Affirmative Kontrollabgabe" an der Universität Köln. Grüsse an Hannes Bajohr, den Urheber dieses Terminus und Initiator des Diskurses. Wir experimentieren mit Generativen Modellen und bringen KI ins kreative Schwitzen.

Malevich being furious about artists stealing his quadrats.

When you use Grokipedia, you leave your brain at the cloakroom right at the entrance. Enjoy being stupud.

Okay, but, if you made a collage, nobody anywhere would dispute that 1. A good collage is difficult to make 2. Collage has been considered art for a century 3. The existence of art is proof of art. The source and authorial intent do not matter. People who talk like this should read an art book

GenAI as the "21st-cen­tury col­lage tool"... ..and the debates it sparks. Everything new unsettles before it transforms. Change is inevitable - the question is whether we face it with fear or curiosity. English / Deutsch / 日本語 merzmensch.com/f/gen...

Museum Ludwig in Köln last week (incl. brilliant "5 Freunde: Cage, Cunningham, Johns, Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly"). * George Segal, "The Restaurant Window" * Original Scores by John Cage 4'33'' * Edward Kienholz "Portable War Memorial" * Nice surprise in the museum bookstore ;)

why?

"My friend, I am still undecided whether we live in an abstract painting or whether our lifestyle is simply too decadent." #MicroMERZ

Cancelled my subscription of Udio / @Udiomusic. I was a fan from the first hour, it created raw, experimental, unusualy, non-mainstream quality (I like it better than Suno). I used it for my visual poetry. Now, with this turn, I cannot use it anymore. Sayonara, Udio.

"It's not "analog" vs "digital". It's continuum." For AI Art Magazine I interviewed @sashastiles.bsky.social, whose works are shown at "OF SEEDS & SIGNALS" organized by Diane Drubay (Blueshift) on the Art on Tezos in Berlin. Thank to @postanikameier.bsky.social for curation! www.art-magazine.ai/...

"my apologies..."

It was 2021, as I co-wrote with AI this poem FOOD STAMPS It was a dystopian, provoking, quasi-nonsense, bitter poem, which - as I see - becomes more and more reality. In all its bitterness, nonsense and dystopia... #reMERZ

Tonfilm ist geistiger Mord! "Sound films are an intellectual murder" 1928, protests against this new slop and kitschy marketing gag - "Talkies", movies with sound and voices, instead of traditional silent film with proper live music accompaniment. After all, talkies are killing artists and jobs.
