The Creative Arts not The Creative AI

My take Simon on the creative arts derives from .Ephesians ,chapter 2 verse 10 tells me ..we are God's handiwork*(poiema) ie ' poetry ie his work of art ..each of us in His image..inherently creative & gifted..within awaiting us to find & display.It .

Sorry Simon about my error with your Christian name.I have edited my error and posted a clerihew as an apology here https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/clerihew_tongue_twister_1681635

I like your ideas shared. AI has its place in that it can help a person who is struggling to get an idea from which to write or paint as can nature be human nature or any of the nature of plant earth and I am sure of the stars as well.Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Simon was your excellent ' data shadow' clip completely your own creation the artwork etc Do you think accredation needs to be included just like artists signed their canvas.How should this apect work on 'digital creations'?

continuation...clearly digtal art (albeit in its relative infancy) is here to stay so your book is pertinent (but perhaps a little expensive even the kindle version,for wide circlation!)

Simon,I note your book review of ' Imagine! Ethical Digital Technology for Everyone' concens art &poetry ,my emagi form ''EMAGI is a recent variation of a reverse ekphrasis derived by the advent of the widespread use of hand held digital communication devices -where words in digital symbols /letters can be represented as a shape and uses a poet's poem to inspire the digitised 'drawing'.An example can be seen here. " https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/reverse_ekphrasis_an_explanation_1608317 A digitised continuaton of a reverse ekphrasis ie the inverse of the centuries old poetic form of ekphrasis. The most well known example being Charles Demuth 'Figure 5' based upon a W C Williams Poem.

Simon,This is a link to an ekphrasis inspired this morning by your words& Dali style pic of your 'creative' blog https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/a_blog_inspired_ephrasis_1681227 ------- I take it your Dali apprecation comes from the experiences of your Ensalada Mixta: Observations and Inspirations by Simon Rogerson, 2017, ISBN: 9781999882600.

An ekphrasis - An AI castle in the sky - With balloons and clouds floating by - And folk standing there on the sand- It seems luxurious and grand.- One must understand its a bluff - Which truly is not good enough - It’s not been painted by a hand - But generated on command… Beryl

Knowing hardly anything about art, I would just take this to be a typcial modern art picture. I mainly like the realist painters who came before the 1900's. Even a few of the impressionists.

Simon,I have posted ekphrasis here since joining in May 2007 here is a link to the earliest thereof ....https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/bella_68819...as to your question.. art (like poetry) is for me a spontaneus chance happening...as this recent posting shows..https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/on_the_off_chance_1662964
