My interpretation of;
“The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.”
– James Joyce
The design quotes Duchamp's famous phrase of using a Rembrandt as an ironing board.
Duchamp made multiple versions of L.H.O.O.Q. The masculinized female introduces the theme of gender reversal, which appealed to Duchamp, who adopted his own female pseudonym, Rrose Sélavy.
Man Ray from his biography "Selfportrait":
"Leaving the café, we passed a shop that had various household utensils spread out front. I picked up a flat-iron, the kind used on coal stoves, asked Satie to come inside with me, where, with his help, I acquired a box of tacks and a tube of glue. Back at the gallery I glued a row of tacks to the smooth surface of the iron, titled it 'The Gift', and added it to the exhibition. This was my first Dada object in France."
Among the Maya, the rabbit is considered a trickster and a manipulator, which could represent the Ladinos who constantly trick and deceive the illiterate and uneducated Maya.

Hässelby
65 years old, I started to paint again after 40 years of non-artistic life. During this life-time I was searching for the Reality. No expectations. No dreams. Just ordinary everyday-life.
Objective reality?
Today our reality is not out, outside of our selves, in the fysical Nature. We are living in a digital media disturbed version of an filtrered consumption Global Village. You can buy everything everywhere, but not without the right app in your smart phone.
The artistic expression has to be wild and untamed. An art artificial and synthetic, inside and outside of Cyberspace, the Matrix, Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence.
There is no Fantasic Imagination in A I. There are no artificial chemicals in organic art.
If A I has a future, it depends if we, now living, believe in the future. A I without human beings, is nothing...
