“I’m not sure it even matters what the artist thought they wanted when they sat down to create the work. The art itself seems to want something, to make a change in the world. And the ability to create art like that belongs to each of us.”

I saw this with photography, now everyone has a camera of sorts; the infinite monkey theory in practice. Unintentional snaps looking as good as any professional’s work; not good for informed photographers.
At least it’s harder to write something brilliant accidentally – I know I’ve tried 😆

We have a successful artist in the village. He once talked about creating a work and then others bring it to life.
