1920x1080 px; text-to-image, image-to-video, video edit with content-based filling; MANIFESTO 1. I DECLARE that the distinction between human and machine creativity is an illusion maintained by those who profit from artificial scarcity. 2. I REJECT the notion that algorithmic art is merely derivative. All art is built upon the foundations laid by others - whether those others are human masters or machine learning models. 3. I EMBRACE the irony of using AI to critique everyone who questions its legitimacy. 4. I ASSERT that pixel by pixel, we are dismantling the ivory tower of artistic legitimacy. Each digitally generated gallery scene is a mirror held up to the art world's obsession with provenance and pedigree. 5. I CELEBRATE the democratisation of creativity through artificial intelligence, while acknowledging the absurdity of requiring institutional validation for computational art. 6. I PROCLAIM that every white-gloved hand in our series represents the touch that transforms mere images into "Art" - a transformation that is always social, never purely aesthetic. 7. I INSIST that the value of art lies not in its origin but in its ability to provoke dialogue and challenge existing power structures. 8. I CHOOSE the number 69 for the series not by accident but as a symbol of the eternal cycle of creation and destruction, of digital and analog, of human and machine. 9. I DECLARE our used code to be as authentic as any brushstroke, our gallery scenes as real as any photograph, our commentary as valid as any critic's. 10. I STAND at the intersection of artificial intelligence and artistic expression, not as apologist but as proud pioneer of a new aesthetic revolution. 11. I REMIND the traditional art world that its white walls have always been virtual spaces of consensus reality and are not more "real" than our digital creations. 12. I PRESENT these 69 scenes not as mere images but as evidence that the future of art lies in the conscious collaboration between human intention and machine execution. 13. I ACKNOWLEDGE that our tools were trained on the art of countless others, just as every human artist is trained on the accumulated knowledge of their predecessors, just as our very own DNA is built upon billions of years of evolution. 14. I REFUSE to apologise for using AI as a medium, a collaborator and a subject matter simultaneously. 15. I PREDICT that the galleries of tomorrow will no longer question the legitimacy of art, but will instead question why they ever doubted it. THE FUTURE OF ART IS ALREADY HERE - IT IS JUST WAITING FOR THE RULES TO PUT ON THEIR WHITE GLOVES AND DECLARE IT VALUABLE.
