"I can honestly say that all these pixels has been carefully selected" - Why say this when it obviously looks like it's not the case? |

Art is all creation made in a search of beauty or self expression.
Here's one of my own if I may: Art is what galleries say is. |

After post-modernism, crisis in art, and de-colonization, in theory there shouldn't be left any difference between "high" and "low" art, and anyone from an institutionalized art field looking down on demoscene would be wrong.
In theory.
What I'm maybe trying to say is that having demoscene as art/folk art, wouldn't probably achieve much.
Actually, I think my experience with demoscene has been more useful in seeing various art scenes as somewhat similar to demoscene.
They are largely based in people sharing an interest, coming together in some materially organized ways (exhibitions etc) and bitching about who did what first. Only when the history books are written, it all seems very lofty and idealistic. |

Yet some morons signed demoscene as Unesco heritage, and are sucking donations because of that... |

Btw, here is the Shutterstock image (and there are more pics in that style, looking forward to the releases to come):

In the original the huntress aims to the right side. This makes some difference since a right-handed person would hold the bow with the left and pull with the right, as in Digital Storm's version on Shutterstock.
It also appears to me that Magnar's work depicts a person of color instead of the red-haired Nordic type often associated with these female hunter archetypes. So the bowhunter release deconstructs the original image by adding subtle hints towards minorities and greater diversity. We should appreciate that. </comedy> |

I do believe this cosplay is based on Sylvana Windrunner from Warcraft universe by Blizzard Entertainment. Unfortunately there are so many fan arts it is hard to find original pictures to link :)
Ok, found some screenshots of ingame model: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F8vkl..
Seems like a Wrath of the Lich King version.
Everything is a remix :) |

Now now, I know some of those morons :) But I don't know anyone who got money out of it. I think it was more about culture, coding side of demoscene and the practices around it, such as demoparties and diskmags and correspondence, and less about recognizing demoscene gfx as art. But there demoscene was kind of put in the same company with folk artsy things.
If demoscene pictures are brought out as "art", it's quite clear that scene appreciation is not very compatible with art discourses. That project of AI generating 300000 pictures, flooding and destroying the CSDb might be more interesting to art studies.
What do I know, even some kind of ironic conversion job of a fantasy art piece might be more interesting for art studies than #1 best voted scene images. |

Just recently someone posted a link here on csdb, where someone created a few hundred generated C64 pictures.
Those were generated by a program the guy wrote. And those certainly do belong on csdb, IMHO.
