Decay

Fallen autumn leaves are slowly dissolving. It seems as if they have decided to fall down all at once. Suddenly they're everywhere except on the trees: on the streets, in the pond, on the lawn and in the gutter (sigh, there's work to be done...).
Soon only the leaf veins will remain. If you take a closer look even the paint on this artwork is dissolving, the canvas is already shining through.

Influencers

When we grew up we all wanted to become a fireman or a pilot. Today all kids want to become famous vloggers; youtubers and influencers. (Mind you, 'famous' is the most important part in this sentence...).
Opinions are great, but whatever you do, always make your own decisions. Don't bother about the titles I give to my artworks. They are only titles. It's up to you to decide whether you agree or disagree.

Copycat

The first AI generated portrait was sold at Christie´s for a record amount. In fact this piece of art was created by a consortium of three men who ´fed´ the system with 15,000 paintings. The AI generator created a new image based on these paintings. Artists often learn by copying old masters. But this attempt is mastered by three men. So, is it art? Or is it a first attempt of an 'emerging artist' to create something renewing?

Fake news

It´s a ´hot´ subject. And it´s all about the truth. The question is: what is true and what isn't? Or, who's faking and who isn't?
The truth depends on the perception of the 'sender' and the 'receiver'. One of the main problems in communication. Any news message contains bits of reality which may be considered  true or false; all depending on the way you look at it.

Adaptability

The fourth industrial revolution is here. The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence is unstoppable. A thread to millions of workers who will lose their job. A chance for millions who will find a new, yet non existing, job. This growth of new jobs is based upon the thought that humans have survived thanks to their adaptability. Well... maybe. But as far as I understand AI will develop itself; i.e. AI will find a way. Just like humans used to...
