Are technological resources more important than the artist in this form of art?

Art is an individual perception and expression put together by an artist’s intuitions to create and portray these ideas. Multimedia and interactive art now relies on the abilities of a computer to do what the artist can not. Therefore, a poor artist can compensate their inabilities with the fantastic creations of computers. Computers will not ever be tired, unfocused, or lazy; they are machines intended to assist human beings and provide windows of opportunity otherwise impossible. Now the medium of expression, or integration of the arts, will allow an artist’s creativity to reach unthinkable extremes with the help of the computer. So what is more powerful; the man or the machine?

This is a house where two of my friends live who are sophomores at American University. Rituals held within the house include instances of interchangeable authority and also offer visitors a sense of security.

How will individual talents be compromised with the ease and availability of digital media?

Now everyone has the resources and capabilities to produce media digitally and share it with others, they no longer have to embrace the skills and hard work into producing artistic creations as previously. Anyone with access to a computer can communicate messages via the internet by the touch of a button.
