Is there still a human hand in art anymore? Even photographs generated by computers looks as if they were just taken by a camera. This past semester in college I did a computer graphics class and the art created by programs such as Arudino and Processing 1.0 look like as if they could have been done by hand. In the end, they were just a series of formulas plugged into a computer program. The line between art done by human hand and computers is diminishing. Although some do not categorize computer-generated images as art, the word art itself is very vague. People can categorize art as just the fine arts category, but others claim it to be what you make it to be. San Base used computers to do his art, does that mean his works aren’t art? He created a whole realm of dynamic painting, taking computer formulas and manipulating them into masterpieces. Photographers use programs such as Photoshop to enhance their photos does that mean that by using a computer program, that it isn’t art?
