It was a statement made a long time ago. We have been talking about technology since the 80's. Some of the unease is that in real life drawing one has to understand perspective this isn't required. I think you may be too hung up on the term artist.
- dahart 1y agoI assumed it might have been a statement made a long time ago, which is why I asked if that’s what was really said. Not sure I understand what you mean about being hung up on “artist”. That’s the word you used. Do you want to suggest an alternative? Do you mean that Shelley did feel like the artist, and the computer meant something else to her? Your very short story seemed to me to fit a pattern and language about digital art that I’ve seen many times elsewhere. It’s very common for people to say something very similar about computers being collaborators in the art process, rather than being what they are: inanimate tools, made by other people. I’m sorry if it it’s not really what you or Shelley meant.
