LG Williams, Happy Birthday!!! AKA LG Williams, Please Don't Enter Confidential Information In Our Conversations Or Any Data You Wouldn't Want A Viewer To See Or Exhibit To Use To Improve Our Art, Services, And Image Learning Technologies!!! Omg!!! We Are Further Investigating The Art Performance / Site Installation, Continue To Monitor Our AI-Art Systems, And Will Take Necessary Future Actions Accordingly. The Top 10 Artists Represent 85% Of Global Volume. But Artists And Gallerists Operate In A Very Different Way. Artists Know How Galleries Operate And They Don't Know Enough About How Galleries Operate, And Vice Versa Et Al. So What Happens Is That The Gallery Will Arrive At A Gallery And Will Say ‘i Have This Data System'. And Then The Artist Says, ‘You're A Gallery So You Don't Know How I Operate A Gallery?'. In The End, Both End Up Sharing And Planning Through Email, Phone Calls, And Whatsapp. It's A Mess., 2021, Dimensions Variable, Party Decorations On Tree. Edition Of 10
