One young man has set the art world ablaze with this stunning technique or perhaps it would be better described as a discipline like yoga or Tai Chi Ch'uan. Young Arthur "A.I." Bleistift calls his technique "Analog Intelligence."
This technique relies on the ability of the artist to look very carefully at an object or a scene and hold what she has seen in her mind as accurately as she can for up to three or four seconds. Then the artist using any number of different tools makes a mark on a sheet of paper or a stretched sheet of specially treated cloth stretched across a wooden frame. Then (and this is important) the artist compares the made mark against what she can see and either modifies the mark to make it more representative of what is visible or moves forward to making another representative mark.
"The process continues," says Arthur, "until the image is complete." The Bleistift Method is taking the art world by storm. So much so that artificial intelligence artists fear their art form may fall by the wayside of history.
