Photography as art-tech<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"RICOH
RICOH GR III<\/a>. This photograph is pure art to me. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The camera as one of the ultimate technological tools to help empower us to make artwork!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the above photo; no painting could ever look as beautiful as a gorgeous monochrome photograph. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Details
Details of my hand. No painting could ever depict my hand so accurately, and artfully.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The direction we should take photography:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Less about nerdification about ‘image quality’. More focus on beauty, aesthetics<\/a>, and making photos which sing to our hearts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

ARS<\/a><\/strong> as the first art-tech platform, integrating the best of technology [double blind algorithm] to actually EMPOWER us as artists — eliciting more honest feedback and critiques from the online photography community (the upside of ‘crowd-sourcing’ our ‘cognitive surplus’).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In praise of Apple Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Steve Jobs once referred to computers and Apple products as ‘Bicycles for the mind.’ I love this. We must bring this back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My thought:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technology as art-tools for the mind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

iPad — not using it as a toy, but using it as a digital art-creation tablet [ProCreate app, and Zen Brush 2]. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laptop: thinking augmentation tool. Also ability to use Lightroom, Photos, Photoshop, and other apps to process photos and CREATE NEW ARTWORKS! Logic Pro X and Garageband to produce new musical artwork. Illustrator to make new illustrated art works. Digital tools to process photos, and also to lay them out, and distribute art works online. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
