The Artist’s Eye: Can AI Express What Only Humans Embody? (Part 2) — A Conversation with Bosko Hrnjak (Epi. # 286)

Yeah, so that distinction between expression of art embodiment, and then the real art, you, you've explained it to me in different ways through our c- conversations, as well as having witnessed it.

For me, the way I see it, you used the word mana, art has a soul.

So kind of brings us back full circle.

What's the difference between that, what we were just talking about the embodiment of the Salton Sea artwork, all of your artwork, and what people call art today?

Well, I mean, I guess...

Boy.

I mean, it depends on the arts, the artist, what they're looking at, that sort of thing, and people take these things very personally, and you have to have an opinion.

I mean, for me, I have an eye towards the future, and I like to communicate what it felt like to be around now.

One of the conversations, if I could step back a little here, one of the conversations I had with the ChatGPT was an artist that I, whose work I really liked was Jasper Johns, wh- whose work I do like.

But, um, in the '50s, he was able to communicate this sense of tension, you know, being he was gay, and his sense of alienation and be- and this weird sense of patriotism through his...

He did these paint, his flag paintings and his target paintings.

They're very powerful pieces of art.

And when you look at them, they're very nuanced, but they communicate these concepts very well.

And it seems to me, and I'm not saying I've seen everything out there, but it seems to me that level is gone now.

It seems like nobody is saying anything of any kind of nuance today about what's going on.

Everybody, you know, when they wanna depict anything about Trump, it's just like he, the deepest it, it goes is like a Hitler mustache, and then that's it.

And it's like, this is silly.

We need to have some...

So I w- I was giving you examples of work that I felt was going to stand the test of time, and I was showing you examples of other people who were in major museums with the same subject matter and why I felt it wouldn't work, and yes, whatever, it didn't mean, fine.

So my work is, I would like to think more like of a deeper, classical, thoughtful nature.

It has very much of a pop art nature.

I've been lately thinking there must be a way to get this ChatGPT.

I really think there is a future movement of some sort.

I just, there's something bubbling inside of me.

I cannot articulate it right now, but there's something.
