In <strong>the</strong> 18th & 19th Centuries a number of pioneering<br />
women established <strong>the</strong>mselves as significant<br />
still lifepainters. Often unable to enter <strong>the</strong><br />
Academies <strong>the</strong>y were also prohibited from<br />
observing and painting <strong>the</strong> human body. Several<br />
of <strong>the</strong>m made successful careers as painters of<br />
what was regarded as <strong>the</strong> lesser form of ‘still life’<br />
painting. Some three centuries separate <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
work from mine and much of <strong>the</strong>ir work is only<br />
known to me by virtue of <strong>the</strong>ir digital afterlives.<br />
This leads me to wonder what might follow<br />
in three centuries from now. Will machine<br />
learning and AI have taken us past <strong>the</strong><br />
Singularity to <strong>the</strong> point where computing<br />
has independent imagination and creativity?<br />
