    Kowazuky Yeah, The National Academy of Sciences did a study on the subject and apparently 4% of death row inmates in the US are innocent. And, according to google, Since the death penalty was reauthorized in 1976, 1,386 people have been executed, almost exclusively by the states, with most occurring after 1990. You can do the maths.

    This was a visually impressive video, it was pleasing to look at - very stylish. I would have, however, preferred a more in-depth discussion of these topics, especially around the issue of the value of internet art and the ways it can help humanity. The statement you made near the end of the video ("Art like this shows us that our increasing dependence on sophisticated technologies comes at the cost of substituting our values and our motives for theirs") felt especially unsubstantiated. There's a lot of really interesting discussions around the ideas relevant to that statement: the usefulness of art, our dependency on technology, the "values" and "motives" of technology and the actual value of portraying technology with art (compared to, say, education and critical thinking). These are the topics that I would have loved to see in this video. My favorite videos from your channel, like "The Treachery of Images" and "Atemporality", are the ones where you go really in-depth with your analysis (and make it sound very convincing), thus making the effect of the video - and that's my favorite part of watching your videos! - mind-blowing. Thanks.

    +Dan Bondarenko The visual medium will always be influential towards emotion. "In-depth", is for books, conversations, essays, and long 60-120 minute lectures. Even 90-120 minutes of visual information rarely can communicate balanced, unbiased, thinking/dialogue (read even serious film theorists even consider any "documentary" to be as much a fictional narrative as a "drama). Let alone something that is only 5-7 minutes long. But hey man, the greatest selling cheeseburger is sold by McDonalds, obviously the masses have very poor taste indeed!

It really boils down to self-artistic-discipline informed by audience expectation. He's fine now, I mean, if you look at his older videos from a few years back, you clearly see creative progression. Let's just pray he doesn't fall into the same artistic hell as Tarantino.

    I kinda want you to make a sequel to this video on how the internet changed video making compared to television and movies. Something I've observed that the videos that try to copy the television and movies are really boring and slow while the videos that are more basically music videos or quick short videos are more watchable on the internet especially for me. Even videos that aren't well edited or well shot are more interesting on the internet than compared to movies and films. You are starting to be my personal favorite youtube channel. Every time I've watched a recent video of yours, it always fulfilling and place an interesting perspective on the world.

    But...well constructed code does have a beauty to it. It has a structure, a form, a kind of elegance to it that is undeniable, perhaps not entirely aesthetically, rather intellectually, but when you learn to see the intellectual elegance you do find an aesthetic one beginning to develop within it; you can see the format and the beauty in its design the same way that a typographer might see the beauty in a page of text. And, even deeper, when the recursion works just right, when the databases backing the program - or the arrays in a less complex one - are well designed, when the variables are re-used just right, given new life at the exact moment they die, even when the comments are perfectly succinct while adequately describing the function like a technical writer's haiku, there is an elegance to the program, not in what it does but in what it actually is, in the code itself, not unlike that of a well-trained dancer giving an absolute perfect performance full of the same level of technical excellence.

    Very true Sabrina! There is an obvious art to science, design, and engineering, or at least there can be if you do them in a particular way. In the same way that you can choose to paint mechanically, churning out results quickly without any caring for the technique, or you can choose to paint with love and caring for the process every bit as much as the result, you can choose between these two options for any process that creates any result, coding among them. And, to someone who has learned to love the technique every bit as much as the result, you can find the art in the components of a piece every bit as much as in the whole of the piece itself. One person might pick up a book and analyze the narrative in it, but another might analyze the typesetting used, the distance of the margin and the size of the font, the spacing of the letters and even the places where the artist chose to create a new paragraph or a new line to enhance flow; one person might look at the whole of a painting and determine it beautiful while another might look at its brush strokes and blending and even whether the artist chose to paint up to the edge of the canvas or up to a pre-determined line or over the edge of the canvas or in a haphazard, unplanned mix of all these options and find the beauty in the techniques and choices that made the whole; one person might look at a videogame or a website or a digital art installation for its effect while another might look at it for the effects and code that went into creating it. One of the most interesting experiences I've had artistically was looking at a statue of a Goddess in a museum. It was nothing but a weathered head shorn from its body of either Aphrodite, Hera, or Athena, I do not recall which, but what I do recall was the sheer care that had gone into the ears. They had folds and shapes that must have taken such incredible work to chisel out of the marble. The artist must have taken such time, such care, to get those ears just right, and that level of artisanry was in itself art: a tiny work of art within a work of art. Simply put, art is made of art, and if there is beauty to be found in one part of a thing, then there is beauty to be found in all parts of that thing if you know where, and how, to look at it. The code underlying anything digital of value has an aesthetic to it; it is more than text, it is formatting and spacing and arrangement and style choices; it is the creator's personality, maybe even their soul, laid down in the code every bit as much as if they had enshrined their thoughts and passions into paint or stone or clay or fabric.

    What you just said was so beautiful I've amazed. Also, another mistake is when he claims, "These systems are not like us. We see with eyes, they see with data. We think with minds, they think with algorithms. Our increasing dependence on sophisticated technologies comes at the cost of substituting our values and our motives for theirs." There is so much that is wrong with this claim. First off, these systems are an extension of us. Tools improve our existing human faculties, like the hammer to our hands. The same can be said for computers. In addition, computers are a reflection of the human mind. I cannot stress how important this concept is and how it was neglected by saying, "they are not like us." As I mentioned before, we model our technologies off existing facilities to better serve purposes tailored to human motivations and needs. When creating the computer, people created algorithms in the sequences that WE THINK. Through a chain of sequential commands, goals, and so forth. It is why many programs are obviously goal orientated and focused on problem-solving. This is a HUMAN TRAIT. And it is also why, as we advance into a world of artificial intelligence, these systems are modeled after the human brain. There are countless neuroscience journal articles online that explain in depth the similarities between the human brain and a computer because simply put, the HUMAN BRAIN IS AN INSANELY COMPLEX COMPUTER WE HAVE YET TO FULLY UNDERSTAND. We see with data, our eyes see data! So why does he make the comparison between human eyes and computer data? It makes no sense. The brain computes information through multiple senses so seamlessly that to deconstruct how the mind operates is a task. Lastly, Until "they" are sentient, independent programs that think on their own and self-improve his declaration that computers are our opposition in motivation and value is misplaced. In fact, I'd argue computers are dependent on us. Thank you for this incredible conversation.

    Wow, this is something I've been thinking for a while and I loved the treatment you gave it. Definitely one of your best videos ever :) This topic is huge, and it'd be great to see a follow-up video. An interesting angle that could be explored is how digital art changes the values of art that were defined by Walter Benjamin in his essay on the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction. That essay spoke about a shift in the value of the arts from a ritual value to an expositional value, and how this liberated the arts from the systems of power that held it before the advent of film and photography. I'm sure new digital technologies warrant a new analysis of the value of art in society, and whether the expositional value identified by Benjamin is still valid in our new context.

Since creator are by definition producing something for the viewer, it does not constitute a form of charity when viewers make a transfer to the creator. Though what amount of transfer to the creator is considered fair or needed is dependent on the quality of the content and the wallet size of the viewer.

    when I hear the words "Internet Art", my mind immediately goes to some of the Ze Frank's early works, like "Earth Sandwich", "Chillout Song" or "Young Me / Now Me", art which, just like your examples, couldn't exist without the internet, but unlike them, focuses on people that the internet connects, and not on the computers and algorithms used to connect them.

It is the closest as it can be for me to cherishing and celebrating a piece of entertainment on the internet. As it was for example with a new comic book when we were kids. This ain't no watch 57% of video while pooping stuff.

    Great video Evan! I think that the message of this video was very important. However, and I might not be the only one to mention this now as the comments refresh, there was a tiny problem at 2:41 where you said that is what the "kenosha kid" bot looks like. That is infact though the code for the "last words with love in it" bot. You can check this easily even if you don't know how to read html, just start looking at line 14 and on and its easily verifiable.

    For more up to date take on the internet art space (now that the internet is very much upon taking over all-life-everything) the artist Trevor Paglen is a great insight. His work looks at that shift from the internet as a novelty to becoming yet another instrument of state and societal control, where the idea of individualism fades into cyberspace...

    Great stuff as always! I tend to think of the Internet as a *platform* for more traditional/digital art, since that's a big part of my field, but this reminds me that art is always a reflection of our individual or collective reality, and as the internet becomes a larger and larger part of us, so does the reflection.

    Another excellent episode! I was wondering about how artists were using the internet. The possibilities seem vast, but I have a feeling knowledge of programming is, atm, relatively limited among artists ;) "And articulating our values about the internet, the global network, in the years before it consumes everything, might just be the most important thing our generation could ever do" - I don't completely agree with you here, I think creating a stable world (wrt resources, pollution, climate and peace) is slightly more urgent. Which made me think - maybe you could do an episode about art dealing with that! In any case, keep up to good work

    I really love these videos. Consistently thought-provoking and never fail to give me a new perspective on whatever medium is being discussed. With regards to the closing comments, I think Evan has to avoid drawing a conclusion that sounds insightful or profound but lacks substance. That is, that we need to try and develop an aesthetic for determining what digital art is good or bad, and that articulating our values about the internet is the most important thing the current generation could do. Regarding the aesthetic, I don't really know how that would work. Just as we don't have a model for determining whether a painting or music is good/bad. Given that it is inherently subjective, the only reasonable criteria is whether people generally agree it is 'good', such as with the Mona Lisa or Sgt Pepper. In digital art, the form that this would take is what is most popular or most widely spread (the most famous memes, etc). And for articulating our values being the most important thing our generation could possibly do. I don't agree, and can't see how that can rank next to the usual important subjects - solving world hunger, achieving peace, solving global warming, curing diseases. Or even feasibly next to more realistic targets such as developing new technologies. I only say this at all because I have a lot of respect for this channel.
