“Artists are the probe-heads on the tip of the search process.”
April 6, 2007
Manuel Delanda speaks to art students at Columbia in this RealVideo. He introduces Deleuze – the best summary I’ve heard not having read the stuff – and recommends the genetic algorithm to artists for use in their work. I got very excited thinking about that, and want to use it to build a movement of my Origins Etudes. It will begins diversely, each bar different with no repetition, and evolve, reconciling forces, internal (formal tendencies) and external (my whims), into a single repeating form. I don’t care that Kwinter, when I mentioned the video to him, said the idea of the genetic algorithm in art was “horribly depressing.”
