Synopsis
The combination of digital technology and the easy accessibility
of drag and drop, cut and paste, morph and tween, music samplers
and computers, networks and downloads have irrevocably changed
the way art, sound, music and animation are produced and
perceived. As digital art, music and animation spawn to become a
profound means of expression in their own right, a new breed of
technology must be forged to set new directions of creating and
generating different genres of art, music and animation.
However, the interest and assimilation of new and untried
technologies is not based on a sure wager on notions of the
"borrowed", nor it is based on converting the "analog world" to
the digital, or even the digitally recorded sources. As such,
the speaker attempts to reload the fundamental of zeros and
ones, formulating and formatting the simplicity (or complexity)
of the basics to generate art, sound, music and animation.
