fine arts majors talking about user interface design would be a better comparison.
The programming language used to create a program does not directly affect the user.
The skill of an artist does does directly affect the viewer of art.
- lstamour 12y agoProgramming languages, like art, or concepts, don't spring out of nowhere. Both end up specializing to better solve the problems they're oriented to, and the biases of the person employing or creating techniques for them. That said, there's a counter to this "everything matters" argument -- that nothing matters, perhaps especially in art. I mean, while artists may invest personally in their works, end users or viewers will make up their own minds. The same can be true of software works (software works of art?). And yeah, sadly, I had two artists for parents; plenty of crazy to go around there, and theories at University didn't help any. ;-)
