November 15, 2008: today’s presentations
I got up early this morning because we were discussing presentation topics and getting feedback. It was a long day, online chat takes more time than face to face- I have to remember to be patient. There’s not that much to say, but I got good feedback, and some friendly banter.
Overall, I think the dilemma is the same- that with digital arts, the field it too big. If the work or “pathway” was drawing, or painting, or sculpture it would be simple- the field is defined- the history is known. We know what a drawing or a painting is, that’s understood and we can move on from there- with digital arts the field it too big, it could be an animation or a website- that’s a huge difference and it is very hard to make useful comments or provide a valuable critique.
