1
64XY had been painting all day, one of his favourite past times. He stepped back from his artwork, utterly confused at what he’d created.
Sensing a disturbance within his brother, 626XY came over to him, his face showing the same expression of bewilderment.
“Who is that?” He asked as he looked at the painting, but his lips remained still.
164XY continued to stare at his creation, his grey-blue eyes tracing the colours and shapes on the canvas. “I do not know…I just…painted.”
626XY’s green eyes scanned the portrait in the exact way as his twin did. When the brothers interlocked minds they commonly expressed the same body language and expressions. “It’s not one of the Caregivers or…”
“…the girl from our dreams…” 164XY finished off his sentence.

    Ben Quilty is an Australian artist producing richly emotive works that effectively exemplify the art of abstraction, having earned him a national reputation. Acclaimed as a portraitist, Quilty creates thickly impastoed canvases using vibrant colours and broad brush strokes that build up layers of paint. He works in a wide range of genres, including portraits and still lives, but also landscapes that reflect his fascination with Australia, a passion which has its origins in Arthur Streeton’s edict that “Australian artists should look to their own backyards for inspiration.” Portraiture for Ben Quilty is about the emotional relationship he develops with his subjects, and the creation of an intimate bond which allows them to place their trust…

    Joan Mitchell’s Chamonix 1962 painting appears to be a mess at first glance; paint violently pushed across canvas, no focal point and seemingly just no point to this piece. However, by giving a name to this abstract mess, we are able to begin to use our imagination to begin to see shapes take form to see that Mitchell has made an abstraction of a French mountain and it is our job as a viewer to use our minds to make a story of her canvas. Mitchell’s 200 by 217.2cm canvas overtakes your vision the second you step in front of it. As you stare at all the paint splattered in the middle of the painting, you begin to notice that it’s not just a mess of paint. Mitchell didn’t do a ‘Jackson Pollock’ and slap paint on the canvas.…

    Kimball states that humans accept what they see and do not question it. The paintings are painted the way they are and we are not to question why or how. Paintings are some sort of a Matrix because they have the humans sleeping while they are still there without a story to tell and Kimball also writes, “Having constructed a system for capturing the electrical energy of human mental activity, the AI blocks that energy from driving the human body to act and instead uses it to provide the ignition for the fusion that powers the processes of its Matrix, above all its ongoing incorporation of the human into itself, into its hardware: nuclear fusion here serves the aim of effecting an anthropo-mechanical fusion.” The paintings use the human 's mind to make…
