Quotes"All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster's autobiography." -Federico Fellini, 1993 "Technological art is a moving target. The artistic gesture to move into an area of emerging technology that is radical in one era can end up being unnoteworthy a few years later. It takes an act of artistic vision and bravery to decide to work with techniques, tools and concepts from a still raw area of technology not yet accepted as a valid area for the arts. It is a challenge to work with a medium before anyone defines it as a medium. Yet several years later, when the technology has matured and a body of artistic work and commentary has appeared, the choice does not have the same meaning. At the early stages of an emerging technology, the power of artistic work derives in part from the cultural act of claiming it for creative production and cultural commentary. In this regard, the early history of computer graphics and animation in some ways mimics the early history of photography and cinema." - Stephen Wilson, Information Arts
