Artist Entry # 9


Artistic License

Andy Deck

This is an interesting piece of digital art. Basically this is a program that allows visitors to create their own “artistic license”. It’s humorous in a way. Essentially visitors can either create a fake identity and print out their own licenses. This is in some way a commentary about what makes an artist and artist. Is it information on a piece of paper, like many other jobs? Or is It about the process and what you create? This allows anyone to have “artistic license” its also a play on words that people often use when describing someone’s ability to creatively change something due to their “artistic license”. According to rhizome there was an exhibition featuring this piece and let visitors print out and laminate their licenses. Additionally, because this piece is online it reaches more people. Anyone and everyone can make this license and become an “artist”.
