On Revivals

Revivals are great in anything. The architecture in DC or in all older major cities includes Roman and Greek Revival, Gothic Revival and so on. Postmodern architecture was a revival of decoration, postmodernism in art was a return of representation. In music you can revive a sound fairly easily by using a Hammond organ and analog synths. To revive Disco, just use everything you would have been using in 1978. It is for this reason that art made with AI will have no real unique cultures or traditions unless the data sets and machine learning have a sense of “homage”. It is also important for a culture to have traditions that are respected and honored instead of pillaged for artifacts.

[12/2/2024: AI is a pillage of artifacts. It is an artifice of artifacts. It is in some sense like a discovery of ancient artifacts that were anonymously created. It is Remix 2.0, or 3.0]
