This article expresses how universal computers because they are a lot cheaper and easier to use. The computer has also become a key instrument in creating art. The best part about software is that it is always improving and allowing for new methods for people to create. It is interesting to see how the world has changed from an artist being someone how draws or paints, but now an artist is also someone how can work on a computer and create visual language in a medium that would be considered mechanical.

Re: Understanding Metamedia

The categorization of media into the 4 quadrants is a really clever way to distinguish different kinds of technology, and can be used to helpfully identify new technologies that we otherwise couldn't make sense of. I remember when the iPad first came out, the reaction of the general public was: "What is this thing? What does it do? Why do we need it? Is it a laptop or a phone, and how does it apply to my everyday life?" Instead of trying to emulate an existing medium (like the transition from a landline to an iPhone), it reinvented something completely new, which would fit it into the 2nd quadrant. I think if everyone had a general understand of this method of identifying technology, it would help resolve confusion when things like tablets, Apple Watches, or the very earliest computers surface in the technological atmosphere.

I think the cross computerization of medias is making the way people interact with technology -faster, and with it being faster, easier to access a worldwide web of information.
technology and software are improving so rapidly, due to easier abilities to create and program that as more people create the cool things..................


the importance of what the future could hold in store for us........

Welcome to Computer Applications in the Arts!

This blog is where we will discuss theoretical and historical readings assigned in class. Whenever the syllabus reads "Blog Post Due:", it means you are to create a new post here with your response. What I'm looking for in your responses is for you to show me how you're thinking about and integrating the reading. Don't tell me what it says, I already know. I want you to tell me, or show me, what it made you think about. This will be an aid to our conversation about the text in class. If you are having trouble thinking about what to make in your projects, these readings are meant to get you thinking about how other people have approached the subjects we will be covering. Please take these readings seriously! Looking forward to a great semester with all of you.
