Are We REALLY an Audience for Computer Art?
Well. Maybe.
I personally believe that we are making giant strides toward becoming a culture that enjoys its art through a "virtual" medium. I can't say that we have already achieved this aspect until I classify who I mean by "We." If "We" is to mean the generation of the youth, such as my generation, then yes. I feel that my generation is far more accepting of a omputer- based style of art than the "Baby-Boomers."
In my experience, my generation is very quick to pick up on new technology, while my parent's generation is very slow, and almost unwilling. With a large amounts of people who still resist technology and the concept of a non-traditional art, I do not think that society will completely accept these new types of art universally. People will still stick to traditional artforms.
However, as time moves on, art will try again and again to catch up with technology. Who knows where technology will be in 10 years? But no matter what direction it moves, art will follow.
