    I think my explaination was the best. I'll try to elaborate.

    Art doesn't need to have, and often lacks, a definite meaning or message. There is always the intent of the artist, but art is always open to interpretation. That is why a computer can make art, because the meaning is abstractly determined by whoever looks at the stuff it spits out.

    Now for a computer to create context would be bridging some A.I. shit, because the computer would have to have the complexity of a human mind that actually makes the distinction between "good context" or "poor context". Context in design is meant for other humans, therefore the computer (at least right now) isn't up to thinking like a human.
