My position on AI art has evolved lately, fuelled by the thought that it's probably impossible to "destroy" art in general. Basically, the total value of all art stays constant, because there will always be things slightly outside the mundane

& even *if* we were to insist on intrinsic features, convention should count as a way for music to genuinely represent since convention *is* an intrinsic feature of music. Musical structures & features can't be discerned without encultured listening, i.e. knowledge of conventions

I'm thrilled that my first paper on #philosophy of music, "Convention and Representation in Music," was accepted at Philosophers' Imprint! (yay open access!) I draw from ordinary language philosophy+ enculturation to argue that convention lets music genuinely represent content.🧵

Imagine if in Literature classes, at the beginning of each semester, professors held a suite of impassioned odes to writers' works such as these. Students watch 5-10 of them and then elect which one they'd like to study based on the performances. youtube.com/watch?v=gLXpYJDd…

'Game designers don’t just create an environment, or characters, or a story. They tell you who to be in the game. They set your basic abilities. They tell you what your goals will be.' C Thi Nguyen @add_hawk on agency and the #AestheticExperience of games. bit.ly/2Ab7qNa

I know this is a rhetorical question..but, actually, there's a sense in which some of these philosophers *are* engaging in the same anti-truth thinking as the po-mos.
That these texts use the language of analytic philosophy doesn't in itself make their arguments reasonable.

They can't address the creative process that determined the aesthetic content of the painting. Still less the problems that that process was addressing. At most the hardware and some of the techniques.

There seems to be a deep tension between two aspects of our practice of aesthetic appreciation. @add_hawk explains art is like a game, and that this suggestion could resolve the tension. Part of the #OxThinkFest reading list. bit.ly/37wn9SO
