Machine or Animal

The machine was created to take the work of an artist and make it available to all.
The machine works at doing this minute by minute, day by day.

The machine has no soul, and while it makes (almost) identical copies of what the artist made, it can never create on it’s own.

The machine is the favourite of the company that owns it

The machine fits well into the binary world of 1 and 0, right and wrong, good and bad as it never varies in its output unless it is faulty

The machine uses instructions, tips, processes to output

The machine is reliable but unseen and uncelebrated

The animal creates when the urge takes it

The animal is ruled by cycles that it can barely perceive, let alone understand

The animal is all emotion

The animal scares those that see it as it is unpredictable

The animal uses the direction of the wind, the warmth of the sun and smell of the prey to excite it

The animal is never the same from one moment to the next, nor is it’s output

The animal is revered, worshipped and shunned

or both

or both
