Interesting podcast. Thanks There is a pretty funny online artist’s statement generator that’s been around for a while. It’s https://artybollocks.com

I have been following various statement generators for quite awhile and absolutely love them, wouldn’t it be cool if someone would pair computer vision with an artist statement generator? The idea is you feed images of the show in and it generates an artist statement based on the work…
