I've been thinking of computers way too much past few days. I really hate to work with a computer and I try to avoid it as much I can. Looking at a screen is something I'm not able to enjoy. Maybe when computers become like paper that acts like paper. My main problem with computers pretty much boils down to the question of material. And for me the question of material is one of the most fundamental in art. Most of the art done by a computer seems to imitate some classic material like pencil, ink, aquarelle etc. Sometimes better sometimes worse. But what is the material of the computer? I have some ideas, but it'll be a while before I find time to look into that.
