Design VS Programming



I'm currently working on an essay which will look at the role of artists and programmers. Maeda, whose TED talk is above, was a professor at MIT's Medialab before joining the Rhode Island School of Design earlier this year. Maeda strongly believes that there is a shift in human's preference for HUMAN generated art, as opposed to technologically created material...this is the guy who supervised the creation of PROCESSING, the JAVA based interactive art software.

I'm sceptical that there will be a complete shun of technologically created work, but agree that the development of work will become more balanced between art and technology.

It will be posted next week, hopefully.
