First, I'm very impressed. Holy. To see how the history and the present sort of patch up all together in the creation of technology. It seems like the past and the present werent too far apart after all.
ReplyDeleteSecond,i think Seracin concludes interestingly, out of his big hoo-ha over his technology breakthrough. It wasnt so much about inventing technology - which i do agree is notably important too. It is about looking beyond technology, addressing the unknowns and saving or putting back the intrinsic values back to art education. Why is this so, why did that happen, all the whys will tell you why is your hand holding this particular bottle of paint. Or in a bigger sense, to what Seracini said "To exploit and protect our vast art patrimony..." because i didnt want to lose the real world to a superficial fanatic.
