Every creator knows the feeling.
It is a specific brand of terrorism and excitement that you have obtained from ‘sending’ something to your life. For me, it was a whole rock opera, The order of development. Month work, in countless hours, co -operative music and meaning with an AI. It was personal. It was strange. It was finally done.
So I did what we all do. I sent a friend to a friend.
Let’s call it Anthony. I wasn’t really looking for review. I was very excited to share this strange thing I made. I was looking for a connection.
Conversation
I tried to explain the unique process behind the musical, the whole point of this project. The conversation then happens… Just like:
All the songs in this playlist are like 100 % answers to AI what he thinks about what people think about is his beautiful crazyness https://on.soundCloud.com/k1hzpkvyjpdrp4xvl

And it is a shame that a machine can make a feeling that more people can even think that they also have a shine.

This is actually the perfect quantity of the irony to prove the whole thing .. I’m going to refer you to it.

“Thumbs up”
“No gun ‘roses”
Reading his last sign -off, ‘This is not a gun’ rose lol ‘, like the door slogan. My first reaction was the brightness of the heat. He did not even hear the disappointment. How can he get an opinion on something he never experienced?
But as much as I saw his words, I realized that he was not criticizing music at all. He couldn’t. He was criticizing Concept.
It was the best driving by shooting an opinion, fired with a hip without testing. At that moment, Anthony became the proxy of our entire culture of engagement. He was a headline reader, a YouTube commentary that gives 30 seconds opinion in a 20 -minute video. With brutal performance, it proved how difficult it is to have a controversial dialogue about art and technology when most people are just waiting for their turn.
He did not want to hear the album. He wanted to get an opinion About Album
“A shame of a shame”
And at the same time when my frustration gave way for a moment of amazing, almost hilarious, explanation. The whole point of the musical was to find the fear that we were losing our humanity with machines. But I was watching it all wrong.
The tragedy is not that AI is becoming more human. That is, we are decreasing.
It was. It was a whole kick. We are very busy in performing our opinions, broadcasting our powers, and screaming in falsehood that we have really forgotten the calm, difficult task of listening. Feeling before we decide what it is, to allow a piece of art, or to another person, to wash us. We are becoming algorithms of ourselves, setting the world in the binary of “such as” or “dislikes”.
Verification of the irony: “Go for it”
When I asked him if I could refer to this article, he replied immediately. “Go for him.”
And there, the ultimate, perfect irony. Not engaging in work, he became the most powerful exhibition. He was not just a friend who had not heard. Now he was a volunteer, a character who ignored him in the stage of the game. His dismissal was not insulting to the project. This was the ultimate, unintentional confirmation of its compatibility.
Result: Art is a conversation
Aim The order of development Chart topping songs, perfect, chart topping songs were never. Its purpose was to use this strange tool to start a conversation about what the mirror and machines mean to be human in the world.
And this chat – this easy, dirty, disappointing and eventually a deep exchange with a friend – was the first, perfect performance.
