Spontaneous Thoughts on Automatic ArtGreg Jalbert, [email protected] doing a search on the web for generative art, I found a lot of sites devoted to generative grammar in the field of linguistics. When one thinks about it, music and the visual arts are really languages that have their own grammars. We find that certain types of sequences and juxtapostions of components create effective communications. The message is whatever the artist creates or programmer allows in the system. There are certain types of systems that use a small set of rules with various permutations. Other systems use a loose set of rules with a large vocabulary. In some cases, there are many algorithms that have little or no permutation within, but the communication is made by the permutations of sequencing and juxtaposition of the algorithms into a grammar and a language.In some cases, a formal scientific approach is taken, and the images reflect this in their pure mathematical rigor. The reliance on the formula may limit the range of expression. In other cases, a free-form artistic approach is taken, and the ad-hoc, organic nature and human hand is revealed., and the idiosyncrasies of the person come through. A close friend of mine would say that the scientific approach is the result of a fear of intimacy. Perhaps the free-form approach has its own fear of responsibility.It's interesting that generative art is related to grammar, the vehicle of meaning. Are we looking for meaning in art without injecting it with ourselves? Have we lost the connection with our own meaning or purpose? Is generative art the reliance on computers and technology for the solutions to our problems, even in the search for beauty or meaning? i'm into the out crowd - i think they're audiorable. they live the abstract life. it's psupersychedelic, man... sometimes people strain. their destiny is doom... do you have a toybox? zany, man - right... i'm on cloud 10... do you yearn??? i do. where is telezonia? in the virtue-all reality! here's to the quick and the dead i live beyond the sun - in a place far, far away... and then? huh? it's GUSHING. oh, just another cinemanic moment... + is positive. if you squeeze it and time passes then it was 'squoze'. and more scichedelia to come... powerstrips, powerstrips, and more powerstrips. there is a MASSIVE misconception of GOD. pleasant dementia? maybe. reality seems to be little more than a series of superstitions that are believed in with such conviction that they're manifest into existence... coccoons are cool. what if somebody developed the ULTIMATE heavy duty roachkiller? like the ultimate pesticide. one that worked SO WELL that it completely exterminated the species... it spread through the air - like a cockroach virus - killing them before they could lay eggs. all the eggs they laid were dead. the ULTIMATE HEAVY-DUTY maximum strength insecticide. so heavy-duty that it extinguished the entire roach population from the planet earth. for future generations, roaches become mytholigical creatures - like mermaids, unicorns, and dinosaurs. i like little toy boxes.

Chihuahua Holocaust ____________________________________________________________ The Iams pet food company - attempting to create a healthier, tastier. more expensive gourmet dog food - created a fresh blend of meat byproducts using unused portions of the animals from the organic-fed horses and cows used to produce so-called 'vegetarian' meats ('tofurkey', 'soy-beef' and 'soy-pork', and 'foeburgers') for the Whole Foods grocery store franchise... In order to get people to eat the otherwise tasteless and barely edible 'fake' meats - they secretly use the hooves, teeth, and bone-marrow of the farm animals in their processed vegetarian foods. No actual meat - just animal parts. The farms that produced meat for pet foods for Iams secretly distributed byproducts to the Whole Foods franchise, knowingly fooling the public and tainting hundreds of otherwise vegetarian and vegan blood supplies with food that actually was made using animals.All of the meat stripped from the horses and cows at their factories was used to make high-priced dogfood for 'small breed' dogs.Soon, every rich small dog owner from Beverly Hills to The Hamptons was feeding their little buddies this expensive food...But little did they know that if they had eaten (or even been exposed to) the fake 'vege'meat products - and they fed their little dogs the tainted Alms - they were likely to develop a blood-parasite, which once matured and developed becomes very, very contagious - spreading though the air to other humans and breathed in and out - quickly infecting the earth's ENTIRE population.Though humans are not affected by the parasite they carry - small dog breeds that catch the bug are transformed by it...Chihuahuas... Lhasa Apsos... Weenie Dogs... Beagles... Shih-Tzu's All small dogs of all types and breeds...They become piranha-like monsters who feast on human flesh.They become violent.They become out of control demons who group up and devour anything that moves...The virus changes the world.Small dogs everywhere - infected with the airborne parasite... Killers who travel in packs... Evil, hungry monsters... Hoards of frenzied beasts.Trendy girls, carrying their little pooches in handbags everywhere they go - attacked by demon-dogs who want to eat their eyes, tear their esophagus's, and devour their flesh...... Violence - comparable only to the violence portrayed in horror movies.Man vs. dog on a catastrophic level.We stomp on them when they try to attack us. We kick them. We throw them. We kill them using whatever means possible...Before the people figure out where the virus comes from - and the cause of all the abnormal small dog attacks (like piranha/zombies) - the animals group in the sewers like rats and breed at an hyper-excellerated pace... They take over the underground. All different breeds of small dogs mate (like rabbits) and combine to create an evil little devilish rat-dog that will stop at nothing to quench it's thirst for blood...The little monsters revolt against the human race - making it hard for people to go outside. Children and elderly become especially vulnerable, unable to defend themselves against the evil bloodthirsty packs... People everywhere in the world - killed and mutilated daily...They tear their victims limb from limb...They disembowel and eat their masters from the inside-out...They are pure evil...Eventually, people start setting big rat-traps that snap the rampant 'demonchihuahua's' in half...People stomp on them and drop-kick them, trying to destroy them before they get eaten...They cover their houses and spray potent pesticides to try to completely exterminate all small-dogs...But the animals are resilient... They become immune to the poisonous gases... They torture all of mankind...Eventually, as a last attempt to control the plague - man gas bombs the ENTIRE planet, telling everyone to hide from the gases and wear masks... Everyone not protected dies.Not only is it an animal holocaust - but they kill millions of people trying to save the planet...Eventually - they kill them all...The story ends with a cute little baby kitten gnawing on a dead baby...
