Shanken (202-213)

Another interesting point that has been a recurring thought in my recent blogs about man vs machine is again brought to the table (202). This time involving sculpture, where the book states that some think that the computer may compete with with the sculptor to the point where he is no longer needed. I feel that it would be interesting to watch a computer create it's own sculpture and examine how it creates the piece and study why it does what it does, sort of like watching an artist at work. I enjoy watching an artist at work because it gives me a chance to analyze how they create art and the type of aesthetic choices they make during the art making process.

  1. This already exists, right? think about prototyping and 3D printing and autonomous robotics. (Check it out)

  2. I was thinking more along the lines of sculpting in the digital realm for example creating a sculpture on blender, where the computer sculpts whatever it wants to make, hope that makes sense.
