The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We're living in a tremendously new landscape, and the possibility of what can be created is immense. These tools of the moving image have a relatively short history in art, and what we can do with them is still largely unknown. We are still innovating and finding ways to tell stories.
The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they're always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.
Artists rarely do the same thing over and over again. Art is about the new, doing things in a new way.
The still image continues to have a ton of strength. An image taken out of context from one fraction of a second to the next can tell a story, and if photographers are looking to tell a certain story, they can curate those slices of time to their advantage.
We don't know what the next generation of art is going to look like. We're kind of making it up as we go along. Not unlike the tech industry.
The artists realise it will take time. It is an upliftment process.
It's easier to make art for a society at a certain point in time with an understanding of what's going on.
Art challenges technology, but technology inspires the art.
What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.
I go and see anything that's visually new, any technology that's about picture-making. The technology won't make the pictures different, but someone using it will.
