The art of instruction is about creating work based on an instruction given to you, where the instructions themselves is a work of art, as is the resulting creation of that instruction. So the artworks are only really completed once you interact with them.

Taking inspiration from the works of Fluxus - artists like Yoko Ono, George Brecht, Sol LeWitt, John Baldessari, John Cage and other pioneers of the art of instruction movement — Wesley Swanepoel and I wrote a few prompts for ChatGPT and set up a page that generated twenty four new generative art instructions every day. Every time you refresh the page a random instruction generated by AI would be served to the user.

So what do you think? Can a large language model inspire you to make art?
