Response: The Artist of the Future is a Technologist

"The other hurdle is mastering creative expression, so that art has something substantial to say," says Steven Holtzman (President and CEO of Perspecta - a company that develops search tools for navigating through 3-D visual information spaces.)

For me the above quote was the strongest statement in the article. There are so many studies and opinions on the "health" of our growing relationship with technology. While virtual community, discovery, knowledge, and creativity are faster and more readily available then ever...so is that of isolation, social insecurity, opinion as truth, and media manipulation. There are so many things that can be discussed as "bad" or "good". Simply, I rest with the individual's moral code or "worldview" as a starting point. Then, I feel I have a basis for judging the positive and negative outcomes.

Overall, I agree with the above statement. Mastering creative expression is key!
