A masterpiece is an old fashioned art term for a work completed by an artist at the top of their game. Or perhaps an artist who is now dead so suddenly ALL their works are deemed masterpieces to inflate their value... Is it possible for a living artist to produce a masterpiece? I am not sure. I reckon Damien Hirst thinks his Shark in Formaldehyde is one, or his Jewel Skull. Somehow I don't think Tracy Emin regards her tent as one. I think some of the definition of a "living masterpiece" rests on how big the artist's ego is. I reality I think a masterpiece is a piece of work that transcends its own time and resonates with future generations of viewers. May I suggest that any of Monet's Water Lilies could be considered masterpieces for this reason? How about Picasso's Guernica, Goya's The Third of May, Rothko's Black on Maroon? God, I sound like an art teacher...

... continued from the answer that is possibly below this. As well as noisedeck.app I dabble in P5 coding from time to time to create base images to drop into the software to further mutate and vary. I admit though to using AI software to help me write the code. I also enjoy the very visually destructive filters in GIMP to stress the imagery further if necessary. I find the fact that the computer does the work very satisfactory; I love to guide the process of creation in a way that is far more exciting than using pen and paper. And finally, I should thank and credit @jesshewitt with giving me a lifetime free licence on Noisedeck for, as she put it, "Data-bending it to places they never imagined."
