Claude Zervas and the art of bollocks

Being himself a bit of what he calls a procedural artist, Claude Zervas delineated the mainframe and branching subspecies of the group in a little-known manifesto he filed under art bollocks.

These types of artists stress a linear or algorithmic process method during the generative, fabrication, or performance phase of artmaking. The method is an important component of the conceptual framework that underpins the artwork, which often requires explanatory text to make this clear.
The exercise of naming artists is left to the reader.

The Transducer:
Makes {phenomenon/artifact/system} X {seen/heard/felt} [, with conceptual basis C].

The Transliterator:
Performs a literal mapping from semiotic system X to formal system Y [, with conceptual basis C].

The Translator:
Converts semiotic system X to Y [, using process P] [, with conceptual basis C], preserving the original semantics as much as possible.

There’s more.

Here’s the artist doing his best not to kill anybody.
