Good points. A minor thing, generative art isn't necessarily abstract art, though currently almost exclusively is. (Oh and spelled Pollock.) Regarding validation, it might not matter for some, but might for others. I'm sure there were quite a few great artists who wouldn't have done their art at the same level had there not been validation as art. Something more mundane, recognition is likely a big factor in whether patrons seek out and are willing to pay for generative art. So it can matter even for those who aren't looking for the ego lifting part. |

Thank you. There's a lot of people throwing around art terminology in this thread and it doesn't always make sense.
Generative art only has to output through a photorealistic renderer and suddenly it's no longer "abstract", but "surrealism". This demonstrates how little sense it makes to apply such terms to generative art.
Let alone the fact that it's multimedia and the term really only applies to visual art. You could have "abstract music", I guess, but it means something completely different.
It's an interesting discussion though.
