people who say that all creative endeavor can be replaced with AI probably need to reckon with the fact that all televised sports events with human athletes could easily be replicated by high-definition computer-animated simulations….and yet we don’t do this and no one seems to want to.

"Fledgling" is in my show opening tomorrow at Brassworks Gallery in Portland. The online preview of the January shows is already live if you're not local and you'd like to check it out.

I'll be at the reception from 5 to 6:30--hope to see you!
