I'm referring to completely involuntary movements... Characterising any involuntary, debilitating phenomenon as intentional or artistic is gross.

Characterising involuntary but normal phenomenon as intentional or artistic is maybe a little less gross, but still asinine.

I understand why you think it's offensive, that's fine.

    I know what you mean; I think it would be hurtful to people with Parkinson's, but whatever, I luckily don't have Parkinson's so not much point arguing it.

    Characterising involuntary but normal phenomenon as intentional or artistic is maybe a little less gross, but still asinine.

    That seems like a very bizarre take. Isn't that a very common artistic device, to find creative interpretations of natural phenomena, and to imagine intention where there is none? I mean, art is subjective so maybe that's just your personal taste, but it seems like a strange thing to be offended by to me.

    Interpretations are intentional, transformative etc.

    Automating that is not.

    How is it not transformative and intentional to reinterpret neurological signals as music?
