Found: senseless drawing bot



There's always been debate about artists, their assistants (sometimes more talented) creation and originality. If you don't make it are you still the artist? What's the value difference between those the artists hands touch and those they don't?

Murakami's factories in Japan turn out everything from keyrings to giant size manga characters; The Warhol Foundation recently redefined authenticity when it comes to what a Warhol is depending on whether he made it or an assistant did and then changing their mind. Damien Hirst said that Rachel Howard paints the best Damien Hirst spot paintings. He also has a team of assistants and has now put the whole process online.

Now imagine I had this? Drawing bot by So KANNO + Takahiro YAMAGUCHI
