I just don't really agree with the premise.
I think Evening Tide, Barge off the Marsh looks really interesting because there is a jaggedness to the edges that is interesting to my taste.
What is the reason for a Burroughs cutup? One could argue almost the entire 20th century of art was a reaction against the idea of artistic choice you are referring to.
It is very strange to me too because when I actually lived in the 20th century, the idea of algorithmic music composition was considered the outer heights of serious artistic musical expression.
I did not expect the generations 25 years later to have an artistic taste that seems to have regressed to a type of pre-impressionism sensibility. The way Monet's critics considered his art a lesser form of wallpaper compared to the "old masters".
It is really one of the most disappointing developments because it is not like we have this cultural obsession with some neo-Rembrandt movement.
It is the cultural triumph of the art critic who produces nothing beyond critique.
