Lucas-September 27th Assignment
I think the most interesting aspect of this article is how we as humans are finding ways to explore and expand art at nearly the same rate we are able to explore and expand technology in general and electronic technology in particular. To think of how unending the possibilities are truly becoming is amazing. Your imagination is literally the only roadblock in the creative process, if you envision it, you can do it. It also makes me wonder what a classic artist, maybe Michaelangelo, would feel about today's art and artists. Are we abandoning our personal artistry to the "machines"? Are we creating to wide a range of opportunities in today's technological environment? I don't think so, necassarily, although it does seem we are moving further and further away from actual human creation in favor of electronic creative processes. Ultimately,I think it opens up artistry to more imaginations and more minds, which can't be a bad thing so long as we don't lose our identities in the process...

What interested me the most about this article, was the level of freedom that artists have. Anything from nature, to the most abstract can be rendered in any way the artist sees fit to portray his message. I also thought it was interesting that he stated "contemplation of the artwork 'dematerializes' the thingly, sensory element of the work."
