Is an artist who isn't an artist still an artist?

"I consider working for a living slightly imbecilic from an economic point of view. I hope that some day we'll be able to live without being obliged to work." — Marcel Duchamp (Pierre Cabanne, Entretiens avec Marcel Duchamp, 1967)

"I want it always the same. Not essentially the same – I want it to be exactly the same. Because the more I look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away, and the better and emptier I feel."

The Usenet Oracle default.blog/p/the-usenet... [Katherine Dee] – also called the Internet Oracle, was a collaborative project that ran via email in the late 1980s. You emailed a question to oracle@cs.indiana.edu, and your question was routed to a random stranger, who answered it as the Oracle.

I've found love in a hopeless place.
A stylized retro-futuristic landscape beneath a star-filled night sky. A massive glowing sun dominates the horizon, rendered in horizontal bands that shift from bright yellow and orange at the bottom to pink and magenta at the top. In the foreground, undulating blue mountains and rolling terrain are formed by hundreds of luminous contour-like lines, creating a fluid, wave-like appearance with neon blue, purple, and pink highlights. The scene is highly symmetrical and evokes the visual style of 1980s synthwave and vaporwave digital art.A retro synthwave landscape featuring a bright yellow sun with evenly spaced horizontal stripes, glowing against a dark, starry sky. The foreground consists of a magenta wireframe grid that stretches toward the horizon, forming a valley between angular, low-poly mountains outlined in neon blue and purple. The perspective draws the eye toward the center of the composition, where the striped sun appears to set between the geometric peaks. The image uses vivid neon pink, blue, and yellow colors reminiscent of 1980s computer graphics and science fiction aesthetics.

Kazimir Malevich: Black Square (1915), Red Edition
A minimalist abstract painting featuring a large deep red square set against a plain white background. The square is slightly off-center and subtly tilted, with softly irregular edges that reveal its hand-painted character. Its matte, velvety surface absorbs light, creating a quiet sense of depth despite the absence of shading or perspective. The composition contains no figures, objects, or decorative details. The striking contrast between the saturated red square and the surrounding white field focuses attention on color, form, and spatial tension, evoking a restrained yet powerful visual presence.

The World Through AI, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt www.schirn.de/en/exhibitio... The exhibition doesn't take risks. What I missed were radical, subversive, dissenting perspectives that rarely find their way into the mainstream. I kept looking for Duchamp's Fountain, and it was nowhere to be found.
Two people pose for a selfie in bright sunshine outside Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt. One person wears round black sunglasses with turquoise mirrored lenses and a black shirt, while the other wears a light-colored sun hat, purple sunglasses and a pale scarf. Both hold a hand above their eyes to shield themselves from the sun. Behind them, the large "SCHIRN KUNSTHALLE FRANKFURT" sign is mounted on a metal structure in front of the museum's brick façade.Close-up of an abstract artwork in soft pastel tones with vivid turquoise, blue, purple and green elements. Organic, bulbous forms hang from thin, dripping lines against a pale background, surrounded by splashes of pigment, textured mineral-like clusters and fluid paint marks. The composition evokes microscopic life, fungi or alien vegetation without depicting recognizable objects.Large-scale video projection showing a long, narrow industrial service corridor lined with concrete walls. Overhead, dense bundles of red, white and gray pipes and metal cable trays create a maze-like ceiling, while green directional arrows and safety signs punctuate the scene. The perspective draws the eye deep into the corridor, emphasizing its geometric, infrastructural character. The projection fills an entire gallery wall.A long black wall covered from floor to ceiling with an intricate white infographic combining diagrams, symbols, charts, timelines and text about surveillance infrastructure, military doctrine and intelligence systems. The highly detailed visual resembles a technical blueprint or systems map, stretching across the gallery beneath exposed silver ventilation ducts.

My anti-fascist poem.
A minimalist visual poem on a plain white background. Fifteen lines of black serif numerals are aligned along the left side, with generous empty space on the right. The lines read, from top to bottom: “003”, “999300”, “11029977”, “00 001”, “0111997”, “77001”, “001177”, “99990013”, “37731”, “011199777”, “007731”, “7770”, “11009”, “7990110”, and “7991”. Near the bottom left, in italic serif type, the caption reads: “003 by Igor #352;”. The composition is stark and monochrome, emphasizing the arrangement and rhythm of numerical sequences rather than conventional language.

Our memory serves to deceive, betray, and misrepresent rather than paint the past. It doesn't offer an authentic image of the past it speaks of, but a fictional and distorted one. intima.info/2026/05/01/cd Igor Štromajer: 101.72 MB, Cankarjev dom Ljubljana, until 5 July www.cd-cc.si/en/culture/e...
Promotional image of the exhibition featuring the robot-like sculpture in the foreground on a white pedestal, assembled from black, white, and metallic mechanical components with large round eyes and exposed cables. Behind it, white-framed works made from computer parts and electronic elements cover the gallery wall. Overlaid white text reads: "IGOR ŠTROMAJER: 101.72 MB" and "Cikel Likovni kritiki izbirajo, Izbor: Vasja Nagy-Hofbauer." In the upper left corner appears the logo and text "cankarjev dom | razstave."Wide view of a contemporary gallery installation on a long white wall. Numerous white-framed artworks of different sizes are arranged in an irregular composition. The pieces consist of computer motherboards, circuit boards, electronic components, disassembled devices, and graphic elements mounted against white backgrounds. In front of the wall, a small robot-like sculpture made from mechanical and electronic parts stands on a white pedestal. The gallery has light wooden flooring and a ceiling fitted with rows of small spotlights.Close-up of a white gallery wall with black exhibition lettering in Slovenian and English. The text reads: "Likovni kritiki izbirajo / Art Critics' Choice Series", followed by "Cikel predstavitev Slovenskega društva likovnih kritikov / Artist Presentation Series selected by the Slovenian Art Critics Association."
