Goodbye Horses by Michael Kutsche

"Goodbye Horses" is a meditation on the challenges that AI art potentially imposes on the role of the artist in society. If machines do a better job at painting than a human artist, does it make the act of painting obsolete? I perceive creating art (and painting in particular) to be more than a mere profession; it’s a form of deeply human expression that taps into the spiritual part of our very being and I would argue there will always be a place and need for it. In the 1988 song “Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus, we hear what appears to be a vague account of an argument with a disillusioned man who seems to think of life as being meaningless and futile ("All things pass into the night"). The song concludes with a reply from the narrator: "Goodbye horses, I'm flying over you." Explore the full details of the collection: https://www.proof.xyz/grails/season-4/goodbye-horses
