Certainly, I think the art-technology fusion are happening. In fact, it has been always there. Is it not technology the development of the fresco technique? Even a simple brush? In my opinion we have to seen computers just as another (although very sofisticated) brush. Once upon a time <g>…computer graphics are reserved only for scientifics and tecno-people (or big studios money). Now, with more friendly interfaces, greatest programs than ever (hold your breath Wavefronts, R3 are looking for you 🙂 all that tools are available to everybody…although just some of us (poor mortals) can take advantage of its great posibilities in their current ocupations, "inspirations" or ideas (and with "some" I doesn't mean some of this forum, or some of the 3d world people…I just mean what I want to mean). I'm the same line as Michael regarding art and artists: we all are, for now, "poor mortals", some with talent, some whitout it, but few of us will reach the "divine" condition of the Great Ones (again is just my opinion <-read this with a little music tone). Probably we are better than Picasso…but for now, who can affirm that. Unfortunately, as someone points out, society, most of the times we have to have an historic perspective (time has to pass) of the work of an artist. Very few artist have recognized as those class of "inmortals" during their lifes (I think Picasso to be one of them). And it's true that there are "inmortals" who we will never know about. That's the real, and cruel, world. Ana ps.And as Michael said, nobody can learn creativity neither talent. You can learn to paint as good as Velazquez, but you will always be a painter that paints as Velazquez. What do you think? Are we againg seeing it "eye to eye"? 🙂
