what i did and said

What I want to talk about in this blogspace is the aesthetics of technology (or the technology of aesthetics) or maybe the art of the digital world (and the world of digital art) or maybe the just how computers are changing the world of art (or some combination of the above, or not). But occasionally I like to post ideas that affect the above mentioned. I ran across this article on BoingBoing a couple of weeks back and have been thinking about it ever since in the context of its impact on the world of art. It would be easy to look at this and turn away with disdain that any discussion of art and economy is distasteful and debasing to the "art." But what Mr. Kelly is talking about is the inherent value of things in this digital age. I find it comforting that some of these inherent values have not only been present in art from the beginning, but will continue even in the midst of this digital revolution.
