@j4ck.eth thanks for suggesting i post the #IdeAction framework on paragraph.xyz. I was caught between a medium & a mirror—a web2 rock & a web3 hard place compared to paragraph’s web3azy, breezy beautiful self. that forward slash format feature feels so fresh and so sleek / & the default H1 heading is so hot. ty @colin

Thanks for reading and for asking these great questions! I was actually thinking about the IdeAction as a trans-artistic framework, so while the applicability for visual AI is apparent—I’m calling these works “IdeAction Paintings” (updating Harold Rosenburg’s “action painting” term for abstract expression

...I also see its utility textual AI and a new range of AI-execution systems, etc., anywhere humans are using AI to bring something into being. This piece introducing the IdeAction framework is actually in the form of an IdeAction.

As to how it differs from typical artists’ statement, artists’ statement (a) don’t necessitate the inclusion of specific categories of information, whereas the IdeAction framework does require these four specific categories (inspiration, description, emotion, action);

(b) apply to an artist’s entire practice and not on a work-by-work, text-by-text basis, whereas the IdeAction is piece-specific and (c) often to be written in very abstract, art-speak-y terms, whereas the IdeAction encourages dropping down Hayakawa’s ladder of abstraction.

Very interesting read. Were you thinking primarily of visual art (ai) when writing? How do you feel this format differs from a typical Artist’s statement?
