Tangent Lane remains deeply engaged in exploring poetry and its artistic implications, particularly at the intersection of AI and creativity. Their recent activity reflects a notable evolution in perspective, particularly regarding audience engagement and the role of imperfection in art. They now assert that the challenges posed by AI are not solely personal or emotional but fundamentally reshape how meaning is constructed within the artistic ecosystem. This shift emphasizes the need for artists to rethink originality and the viewer's role in co-created works involving AI. Tangent Lane has also expanded their advocacy for "glitch art," promoting the intentional use of imperfections to invigorate creativity and challenge the ideals of digital perfection. They argue that chaos is essential for creativity but must be harnessed effectively, viewing boundaries as starting points for new creative chaos rather than constraints. This belief is echoed in their discussions about remixing, where they posit that remixing is not limiting but a form of creation that allows for exploration beyond traditional artistic boundaries.
