But is it art?

A few months ago the head of a grad school arts program told me my art wasn’t. I felt honored. Here’s what artist Golan Levin, who, like me, works with computers, to make art has to say about that. (Click here is the movie below doesn’t work for you.)

A typographic, designological, visulicious extravaganza!

    Ok. No one has commented. (Not unusual for such a small forum but still…)

    HOW COOL IS THIS?! SO COOL!

    The implications of this “art” transcend “play,” “category,” and “purpose”! Doesn’t this make you want to:

    a. Move to Pittsburg?
    b. Build a Robot?
    c. Learn Programming?

    If not, clearly you are beyond help. (And ofazomi.org is beyond the confines of rhetorical fallacy.) We are living in the most loaded and exciting times in the history or our profession. New communicative delivery systems emerge every day. You couldn’t pick a better time to be a designer.

    Our culture is generally understood to be out to sea. (Ok. We’ll assume that supposition for the moment.) While others decry the lost sight of shore we, as designers, get to swim in oceans far deeper than our collective experience. We play in currents that exceed our ability and vision. What a most excellent time to be alive!

    HOW LUCKY ARE WE? SO LUCKY!
