Problem is style transfer as a paradigm adds very little to art as an original augmentation of our experience: it is seen as a mere pick & mix without an original act behind, therefore it is very difficult to sell... or is this the latest instalment of the old elites with money vs the angry and penniless young? I don't know, really. That's why as an art dealer I just took the plunge at http://www.artyde.com in order to make the physical act on very basic media fashionable again, that is hand-made A3 A4 A5 drawing or paintings with pastels and water colours. Pauperism forces thought and imagination and we literally need rehabilitation to create new styles imho.

All valid points, but not everything needs to be about money and business. A lot of people here are interested in subjects like generative art, simply for the joy of creating something nice and for fun :)
