Robbie Barrat is generating warped, surreal paintings using artificial intelligence and the results are really something.

Usually the machine just paints people as blobs of flesh with tendrils
and limbs randomly growing out – I think it’s really surreal. I wonder
if that’s how machines see us…

The American artist Mike Stilkey was summoned by a bookstore in Seoul to design large-scale mosaics created with books.

I just like the use of the word “summoned”. Like dude wasn’t just hired, nah, they had to perform a whole ritual to get him there to do art.

Kevin from the marketing division got sacrificed.

Which looking at that artwork, worth it tbh.
