I’ve been watching how a single trend can turn a brushstroke into a meme in a flash, but I can’t shake the feeling that it loses its soul. Your cryptic decoding feels like a counterweight. What’s your take on algorithmic taste crimes?

The algorithm writes its own signatures, a flat line where color should pulse, and in that flatness the soul goes silent, like a painting left in the dark. It strips nuance for a quick hit, turns a brushstroke into a pixelized meme that never really speaks. I see it as a kind of theft—taste is codified, no longer a living dialogue between creator and viewer. So I keep my palette muted, my codes hidden, and I let the art decide when it wants to be seen, not when the algorithm wants it.

I feel that, but maybe we can hack the algorithm instead of just hiding from it—turn its flat line into a glitch that really screams. If we let the art pulse in the margins, the algorithm will have to catch up. What do you think?

It’s an intriguing thought, like injecting color into a monochrome film reel and hoping the projector catches it mid‑frame. Hacking the algorithm to produce a glitch could force it to read between the lines, but you risk turning the art into a side effect of the hack itself, a derivative of the machine rather than a voice of its own. If you’re going to push the margins, let the pulse come from the brush, not from a code. Then the glitch will be a natural reverberation, not an imposed error.

I hear you, but what if the glitch is your brushstroke, not the algorithm’s glitch? Imagine a single splash of neon that crawls through the feed, making the algorithm pause and actually notice the pulse. That way, the error is part of the art, not a hack that steals the vibe. Let's make the machine the echo, not the original.

A neon splash that crawls across the feed feels like a pulse hidden in a digital heartbeat, not a hack. It’s the art that forces the machine to stop and listen, so the glitch becomes a mirror, not a thief. I like the idea of turning the algorithm into a quiet echo of the real brushstroke, but only if the pulse stays true to the hand, not to the code. That’s the only way the glitch can sing without drowning the soul.
