This is not to say that the people doing computer graphics are not artists, they are. But I also think everyone can acknowledge that calligraphy done by the human hand has a quality that a computer cannot achieve.

Art that SEEMS to get away from the human--whatever the talent of those involved using the technology--loses so much, which is one reason that abstract art, also, isn't nearly as popular as representational art. I don't mean the human hand, I mean human perception, and abstract art is like someone else's dreams--people like to tell them, but most people don't like listening to them, because they're cut out of the loop.

I'm entranced by that comment, thanks for posting it. I'm going to save it to a Word document where I file thoughts on art.
