Hello,
Thanks for your feedback, maybe you're right. I'm thinking about 'painting' not from a technical point of view, involving some defined kinds of support and materials, but from a more conceptual one, as an historical and pictural practice in art. From this point of view, there is no reason to not talk about 'networked painting' like we can talk about 'oil painting', the technology is different, but i think we act in the same artistic field. Furthermore, maybe the "digital revolution" is the moment in time and space where 'painting' as an art practice will be more profoundly re-defined. In fact, i'm more interested in confronting and opening concepts and words than strictly refer to them in a predefined and closed signification. So, it's an open discussion and set of thoughts. ‘the computer is no more than a tool that helps painting to shake off the deadweight of an ossified classical heritage. Its immense combinatorial capacity facilitates the systematic investigation of an infinite range of possibilities.’4 4 Jean-Michel Place, ‘Vera Molnar, Regard sur mes images’, in Revue d’esthétique, n° 7, Paris, 1984. http://collection.fraclorraine.org/parcour/showtext/1?lang=en&wid=422 martin mitchell a écrit : > Hello. > > Please separate the idea of painting from the creation of digital > images it's a contradiction and makes it difficult for people to > understand what digital artists are creating........... > > Martin Mitchell. > > Crispy Nails Animation Studio. > > http://www.crispynails.co.uk/ > > On 15 Mar 2010, at 15:41, Yann Le Guennec wrote: > >> My work is about the evolution of painting in a networked >> environment, both physical and digital, present and distant, in >> time and space.
