In the distant future we’ll have digital archeologists uncovering re-discovered data. Maybe that’s when digital art will be taken serious. Most great pioneers and artists died in unmarked graves just to have their work rediscovered and popularized. I wonder how those individuals would feel upon finding out that the same crowd that mocked them to their death-bead is now worshiping every discovered scrap and remnant of their work. I guess that’s why I don’t like art museums. It’s just not fair, and something I simply fail to understand. If an artist, inventor, thinker didn’t have to struggle and fight for survival when they where alive, they would have been able to create more work that would shine with even more brilliance. Sure genius is misunderstood in it’s time, if it’s even lucky enough to be understood enough to be misunderstood at all… be born in any earlier time period, that same “genius” would just be outright crazy.
Apparently there’s an entire generation caught in the 90′s… even 80′s. The web is this big frightening phenomena and everything done there seems to be a joke or nice. Like the world is splitting in half. One half is dying out because of its refusal to be part of the new half. Welcome to the 21st century. Don’t bother getting used to it. You’re almost dead anyway. There’s nothing I fail to understand more that fear of progression. Perhaps it’s a good thing that humans have a limited natural lifespan.
