Real or robot?
It paints! It hunts for Sarah Connor!
STLToday.com says about the robot artiste,
Action Jackson is a useful example of how the line between man and machine — and between creativity and cookbook automation — can become blurry.Creativity doesn't come into it. Actually, it's more of a useful example of what a flat-out fraud art has become since it decided to chuck out six thousand years of craft and insight as if it was so much old rope. All that is left is sham, pretence, and dumb-show in the service of fatuous pseudo-theories that hang in the air like the Isle of Laputa.
Put it another way, it's all a huge scam to cover up for talentless "artists" who can't draw fingers.
Not "Seeing is Believing," you ninny, but "Believing is Seeing." For modern art has become completely literary: the paintings and other works exist only to illustrate the text.

Jackson Pollock's blige aside, I cannot imagine a painting, sculpture, musical composition or work of literature design and crafted by a computer. Perhaps they may be able to craft these things within the parameters of rule and order, but entirely lacking in the fundemental attribute of any artist: a soul.
