Artwork Highlight

Mellom Bakkar og Fjell, Vi Fant!

The scenery in this artwork, “Mellom Bakkar og Fjell, Vi Fant!” (“Between the Hills and the Mountains, We Found!”), is based on a photo I took many, many years ago during one of my daytrips up the mountains in western Norway. I have always found the large boulders that can be found lying around in the fields and in forests, far from where a rock slide could have slipped down the mountains, to be really fascinating.

The news about generative AI “Art” improved accuracy skills is flooding my social media and the internet in general right now. I wanted to take a moment to address this topic. I do not view generative AI “art” as art. I think it destroys the creative aspect of art, which is fundamental. The process of creating something has been a part of humanity since the very beginning. It keeps our curiosity alive. It helps us grow and understand. It doesn’t matter if it is an artwork, a movie, or a new recipe. Creation and curiosity are needed in medicine, construction, transportation and DIY projects.
For many of us, art is a way to express our thoughts, emotions, our passions or to process events (both good and bad) in our lives. I believe that generative AI “art” destroys that. There are other sides to this issue that I have not brought up here, and maybe I will make a longer post about this another time.

I have not, and will not, use generative AI “art” in my process.
