Big timesaver when you just can't find the right words.

Bill, Interesting gadget, but from the testing I did I'd say it wasn't designed to descend into the same depths of incoherence and self-congratulation I see in actual artists' statements in museums. It needs work.

Russ, just add a few extra words to the program's output and you'll pretty well get there. Here is my list.
Contra-indicated
Advisedly
Eponymous
Rictus
Matrix
Corruscating
Organic
Iconic
Ironic
Juxtaposition
Contemporary
Postmodern
Slippage
Dichotomy
Representational/abstract

I sense that the use of postmodern and contemporary vis a vis the almost organic relationship between the viewer and viewed, the iconic juxtaposition of non representational art and representational critique, is now contra-indicated. They have suffered slippage. How ironic.

I'm troubled by how the internal dynamic of the biomorphic forms verges on codifying a participation in the critical dialogue of the 90s.

Generate your own Post Modern Art here:

http://www.donrelyea.com/resampled_lo_fi_hilberts.htm

and then write an essay about it here:

http://www.elsewhere.org/pomo/

each time you load it you get a new essay.

Makes as much sense as some critiques I have read!

If anyone is interested in some world class verbosity, the late, great Bill Jay (I sure will miss his Lenswork columns) wrote on this very subject:

Great stuff.
