You may be right but art isn't about how you make it but how it feels... I don't think it matters if Van Gogh painted turbulence or Jackson Pollock painted fractals or John Singer Seargent represented wave theory.... its about the magic of the emotion, not the science behind it, if art turns into a science where we can make people think/feel whatever we want, we leave nothing to human chance or the subconscious.
Art is a composite of both technical ability and intellectual merit. It must have both to be art, if one is lacking it can be made up by having more of the other. Thus for example if a painting shows no technical ability but the ideas and philosophies behind it are amazing then it's art.
Now, at the school where I study their is a yearly art contest for students to win scholarships and awards. This year the two winners were artists that used computers as their tools of the trade. I have seen many "artists" use computers and do 3D images, and no matter how amazing the scenes look I still have to ask, Why? Whats the point? These two students that won the awards this year went beyond pure aesthetic values and delved into something deaper, emotion, philosophy. That is what makes art.
As my profesor Mark Cohen has said, "art is philosophy without words".

This was one of the best articles I have read on the internet. The author kept well to the facts and did his research. Defenitely a great work of journalism. Everyone should check this out.
I recently purchased a G4 after considereing that for half the cost I could have a computer that could do the same, possibly even cheaper. One thing that people fail to see is that certain industries such as graphic design are completely sided with Macs, if you want to really get in, you have to know macs inside out, so for those who must take things such as that into consideration, a cost increase might be worth it, especially if it runs those programs better.
But maybe thats just me
It would be nice to think that because 2001 was so good that Rendezvouz With Rama will be the same. The difference tho is that as I understand 2001 was written by Arthur C. Clarke as a script for Kubrick and was apperantly something like the 3 script he wrote. Hopefully Rendezvouz with Rama will be a great film, but it is much harder to work from a book than from a script.
