Recently I have been having some anxieties about the direction my thesis project is going. More directly, I think I am moving further and further away from the photographic as I explore certain themes that I find interesting. These themes range from ideas in mapping, information and mathematics. However, I did find a quote from Christiane Paul’s book Digital Art that gives me some comfort.
“Art by means of computer technologies is more comparable with other technologically mediated art forms such as film, video and photography, where the individuality and voice of an artist does not manifest itself in a direct physical intervention.”
My program emphasizes that it is focused on “lens based arts”. Maybe technological arts will suit it better?
