It seems it was originally written to be provocative and might not reflect author's views, as author have himself produced a lot of computer art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieder_Nake#Art_career https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frieder_Nake#Art_career I think something missing in the article is role of art as a way to communicate meaning. Perhaps it's deliberate, i.e. author wanted to provoke people into talking about that aspect. Obviously, art is part of the broader culture and it is one of the ways people update the collective unconscious. With computers entering human life, and thus culture, people need to make sense of computers. And "computer art" is a part of it, and it's part of the discussion about originality and individuality, so it definitely should be (if anything should be at all).
