I honestly can't tell if this is sarcasm. This... > Heck, puppets sound sooo boring. ...followed by... >Meanwhile our robotics senior project had a huge portion of the school watching because we were shooting projectiles. ...sure says a lot. You can draw a direct line from the art of puppetry to the evolution of robotics. My degree is in computer science, I wrote code for ages, now I'm a presales engineer regularly meeting with C-suite types and their engineering departments. Nearly every year for the last decade, I've also on staff at the annual National Puppetry conference (as a musician) where I get to work with some of the quick-witted, talented problem solvers I've met. Working in puppets means working in costume design, set design, creative writing, storytelling, engineering, lighting design, sound design, project management, the whole gamut. I credit the experience I get working with puppeteers for helping advance my career as a 'computer nerd' What I find bizarre is that we're in such a consumer-driven culture, but taking humanities out of focus in education has changed how people perceive creativity. The most boring people in the world are talking about using AI to create derivative art, while ignoring centuries of history around training for the arts. >Literature sounds incredibly boring. Theatre? So boring professors had to give extra credit so people would attend. To each their own, but oof.
