11. paris is burning


Hello friends, 

I’ve just started my writing around reflection and professional learning and I am back to considering my work in tangible space. I needed a prototype of an idea and so I used artificial intelligence to generate some images of what I was working towards - I think this is really fun but also a really useful tool for transcribing my words into images. 

It inspired me to try it out as a blogging format - I’ve written eight sentences that sum up where I’m at - and I will let AI turn them into things. I'd love to hear what you can make of it…

I would wish for more reviewers writing more critically around this, even if it’s just to acknowledge the feeling that it ...

I really enjoyed the debate around how necessary art is - I think these topics of selfishness, genius and integrity are so vast and interesting. I was trying to think about how best to respond to the topics raised, and maybe I will offer something very obvious as a reminder for myself. The more artists I meet, the more I become excited by how nothing is necessarily true. Say, for instance, between a small group of us we could agree that all art is necessary , then we have an agreed truth for our community. However, next week a new member joins who introduces their practice as the pursuit of making unnecessary art… has our one agreed truth now been broken? Perhaps the pursuit of creating the unnecessary comes from the intrinsic belief that art is always necessary. But with the fallible craft of naming things with words, do we diminish our imagined unnecessary art practice-r? Perhaps fo...
