I found this article over the weekend and just finished reading it. I wonder if some here might find it useful, he certainly references lots of other articles on the subject.
Half way through I found myself thinking what if in the future, machines not only make art, but appreciate it too? Perhaps one day, they will see our human efforts as amateur!

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…
Read more…I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding! (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
Read more…"The Overload"! A video with music, from the various experiments I made in Studio Artist with stuff that I have learned in the last few days, from tips and tricks I found by scouring this site and the Synthetik site for tutorials etc. MSG! Paint Synth with MSG Path Generation! Movie Brushes with MSG Path Start Generation! Time Particles! Time Particles with MSG Path Start Generation running Movie Brushes! All that, and more! Haha I have been trying to stretch the Paint Synthesizer in the…
Read more…Hi, here is the video I made back in 2010 for my song "Teenage Tongue Cult". I finally found my master folder of image sequence files for it on one of my old hard drives, and since the version I had on my Vimeo was of pretty terrible pixelated low quality visually, I re-did it yesterday. It has extensive use of Studio Artist through the whole thing. I made it by first animating the characters and scenes in Flash, against a mostly kind of muddy green background, a color I knew wasn't being used…

Here's an article from this morning's The Verge about computer generated music using deep learning.
Here's a quote from the article that i think relates to what we try to do with Studio Artist (including the artist in the synthetic computational creative loop).
In d’Inverno’s vision of the future, AI doesn’t replace humans, but becomes a sort of musical sparring partner. "Even if you don’t think machines can be creative by themselves, they can potentially be creative friends," he says. "You can imagine a situation when you’re having a conversation with a machine offering prompts as a critical, creative accomplice."
Thats a very interesting article, I'm fairly easy about AI, I didn't invent the paintbrush, and I don't insist its the only tool of worth for artists.
I only hope that one day I won't wake up to find my computer is suing me for copyright!
