> The narrative/life of the artist becomes a lot more important
We are 50 years into post-modernism. Can't imagine it can get any more important.
I predict emergent design will be the next big thing. Czinger[1] is a great example of what it may look like. Rick Ruben-esque world, where the creator is more a guide.
[1] Czinger uses stochastic optimization to converge to designs - https://www.czinger.com/iconic-design
God, thank you.
Finally, someone pointing out all of this is just people announcing what has been in play for half a century.
Post-modernism says that the artist isn't important. Dead, in fact. Art is something that happens when we perceive it, not when the author creates it.
Is that what putting a camera in the hands of everyone with a smartphone (basically everyone) did for photography?
Or making video editing + free, global publishing platform did for film? (see: doom scrolling).
