“The creative act is not performed by the #artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the #creative act." - Duchamp
Some wondered if AI was used.
Insulting? Yes.
Yet, laughter ensued.
It takes a prompt for #AI to generate something.
What would be the prompt to create this masterpiece?
As is, this artwork is already defying description.
Art springs from the essences of being a human being.
A sacred origin.

“While the authority of the doctor or plumber is never questioned, everyone deems himself a good judge and an adequate arbiter of what a work of art should be and how it should be done. It's therefore a risky and unfeeling act to send it out into the world.”

"Once a piece of art is concluded and ejected into the world it changes with every single pair of eyes and becomes an endless object of transformation. The spectator makes it his or her own. Don't decontextualize it and call it truth-call it your perspective."

Mojo is an amulet containing magical items.
It may also be called Juju.
Some people may wear mojo to ward off or dispel evil, or to cure illness.
Smartphones have become mobile repositories of lives.
This: #mojo or #juju #art to protect and bless those important electronic containers of that.

So much of what individuals experience on a daily basis is aggravating, irritating, exasperating.
So much of media is inflammatory.
It leaves one filled with anxiety and trepidation.
What a pitiful situation.
Art offers a way to add a different kind of excitement to the existential travail.
