silicon heart

There is no salvation in digital anything. Digital has done as much damage to art as katrina did to new orleans. Katrina tore away a chunk of our national soul from us and digital art has done the same. It has neutered and homogenized art into a milk that is without taste, without soul. There will never be a louis armstrong on an electric trumpet , nor a cartier bresson with a digi cam. There is an essential warmth, a humanity that bits and bytes will never process or emulate. The very thing that separates us from machines is what will one day save us from them.
