[Continued] who can love computers, that was Leonardo da Vinci (Leonardo with a computer: he! now we should have been talking throught a Solar System Wide Network, you in Mars, me in Io 🙂 Regarding Velazquez, have you seen the studies about the lay-out and creation of "Las Meninas". Wow! That man has a computer in his head! He will not use 3D Studio, he will create the Release 19 (sorry Yost 🙂 Talking about computer and mathematics, how about Bach? Even better, how about the Alejandria's library all stored in, say, 1,000,000 CD-ROMs? It was Carl Sagan who said that now we could be present in all the Solar System if the AL had not been destroyed. And maybe using Noveniums instead 486s <g> I agree with you that this game, which I often play (what happens if we have a machine who can record directly from your imagination? yes, I'm also an sci-fi fan) Finishing, which is a gerund <-this is an tipical spanish phrase), I don't think (I<-me, just my opinion) that Fritz Lang's Metropolis neither Scott's Bladerunner are considered art just for the special effects. Both movies are breaks in the way of understanding a class of cinema. I agree with you that the aesthetic present in both movies can't be possible without one kind or other of special effects (and don't forget the photography), but a movie never is considered as a master piece just for the special effects. Moreover, special effects can't never been taken as the objective, just as a way to reach "something". Hey! What about discussing the principles of aesthetic? What about Kant and his discussions about art? Mmmmh, this is really interesting. Could we solve the problems who had been rounding phylosophic minds since Democrito and Heraclito in a Compuserve forum? Really! This issue had become a Bizantine discussion <g> (just like the discussion between realism and abstraction). Keep in touch, Ana
