I guess it was the rather large statements about art, but I'd love to learn more, too.

Hello, and thank you for the excellent comment! I love the conclusion that I successfully fooled myself into thinking I wasn't thinking anything. That would also make a nice stamp ;-)

Yes, exactly!

(But I do appreciate the feedback loop as in Gödel's theorem 'This statement is wrong.')

It's great to see that the idea causes some controversy – thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Yes, perhaps the statement about 'Art is ...' and 'Art is not ...' is too big. It's what I try to achieve here, but this is, of course, not true for all art. Thank you!

Thank you for the very thoughtful comment! I'm indeed not an English native speaker, so I wasn't fully aware of the different possible meanings of 'nothing in mind', but you're right. The German stamp has exactly th

Oh interesting! I hadn't come across that one. Will check it out! Thank you!

Thank you! Actually, the longest part of building this was finding the right wording. Here are some previous attempts: - When painting this, I had no artistic intent - When painting this, there was nothing I wanted to express with the pictu

Yes, I guess I didn't think about that! (Oh, that proves me wrong, right? ;))

I swear I painted them by myself :-) It is a side project which I simply enjoy (painting the paintings) – but our walls were getting too full, so I thought I could also start selling them. (In a sense, then it is also about me having a feel

Oh, thank you! I didn't know that one!

The thing I was wondering: When I put the stamp on the back of the painting, THAT is something that communicates an intent, actually. It's almost a Hofstaedter (Gödel/Escher/Bach) loop, or a prisoner's dilemma. Or Watzla

I guess the latter – the piece could remind them of a feeling, or stimulate them to think something new. I just don't want to interfere with that. They shouldn't waste their resources on trying to figure out what I was thinking.

Thank you –for the comment and the appreciation of the paintings themselves!

Thank you, will check it out!

Thank you very much! I had similar feelings during my education. Perhaps this is now the reaction to this ;) (It's also often that people ask me 'What did you want to express while painting this?')

(Of course, the provocation here is: Is it possible to paint something without having anything in mind.)

Here's a little side project: I love to paint! And I don't want to interfere with people interpreting my works, so I thought about marking them as painted with no artistic intent. I'd love to hear your opinions on that!

I actually added that explanation at the very end. I was afraid that people wouldn't get it as satire. ;-)

(One commentor pointed out that they weren't aware that this is a movie project - the film's embedded at the bottom of the page, but here it is as a YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fnsW5MBfDg )

Oh, I wasn't aware of Tom doing anything into this direction (but of course he does, just checked it out)! I sat next to him at a conference dinner once, will ping him about it!

When we filmed the movie, we mixed coke with water and pumped it through the happiness patch's hose: today's readily available boost of dopamine (sugar and caffeine) is also the future's. ;)
