I have a question: Would you consider this art? I bought an ordinary brick from a hardware store, placed it on top of a newspaper, and titled the piece 'Current Freedom of Speech.' It’s an expression of my thoughts, but keep in mind, I didn’t create the brick or the newspaper. All I did was place one on the other and give it a name. Would you still call this an artwork?
Now let’s take it a step further. What if I used a computer application that generates visual compositions using mathematical algorithms, like fractals, born from equations, expanding into infinite detail? The code does the drawing, yes, but the choice of equation, parameters, and final framing — that's mine.
What if the program interprets structured input — words — into high-dimensional vector representations within a latent space, and from that creates an image? I may not sketch it by hand, but I guide it. I refine the words carefully, choose the phrasing deliberately, and select the output that most closely matches what I feel. It’s not random — it’s shaped by vision, curated with purpose.
Would you still say this isn’t art?
Because if we accept that placing a brick on a newspaper can be art, not because of what it is but because of what it expresses, then how can we deny the same to digital tools, code, or algorithms guided by intent?
Art has never been about the medium — it’s about the message. Expression, not technique, is what defines creation. Whether sculpted in marble, painted with oils, generated from numbers, or composed in code, if it translates emotion, thought, or perspective into a form others can perceive, it is, by definition, art.

AI isn’t replacing artists — it’s amplifying them.
The difference? Knowing how to use the tool.

I had hundreds of the videos set as private or unlisted, if I open them as public, they mess up with my YouTube algorithm, so I released them as membership videos only, to the lowest tear as YouTube allows. If you intrested ins ee them, join the membership.

Having good music or animation in your YouTube videos is essential. Here are some places where we get our assets:
Envato Elements offers everything in one place, including graphics, templates, projects, fonts, sounds, music, and video clips, with a huge library of royalty-free options: 1.envato.market/c/1719625/2122176/4662
If you're looking for popular music you hear on the radio, here’s the link—it’s surprisingly inexpensive to license for your YouTube videos: app.lickd.co/r/efce428ab2e9424e928c4e6639b8d7e3
And if you need good analytics for your videos, it's best to create your own. Here’s a video on how to do it: https://youtu.be/RELqUOQ5GK0
Looking for camera and sound recommendations? Stay tuned—I'll share insights soon based on my 45+ years of experience as a professional cameraman.

How long should the videos be? I’m constantly struggling between making one uninterrupted video, which might be 1-2 hours long, or splitting it into chunks. But then I get comments saying that people can’t find them (even though they’re in a playlist), or that some parts are hard to understand due to jumping in the middle of the series. What do you think? How long should the videos be, and what do you prefer?
