Abstract
Two fundamental shifts in the past thirty years have ushered in a new age of creative mass production. The first is the expansion of digital tools for making visual art, and the second is a shift in how we define and evaluate works of art. The creation and appreciation of art have been profoundly altered by the advent of digital technology. The purpose of all art is to set free the human soul and intellect. And yet, for the first time in human history, humans are witnessing unprecedented waves of unprecedented technological revolution throughout all areas of life, which may very well alter our definition of "Art" for all time. In such a setting, it's reasonable to wonder whether there's any common ground between these two fields, and if they share any essential aspect of the human condition.
