digital art chapter 3

This chapter centers around the idea that there are many themes in digital art. One of them being artificial intelligence. This is expressed one way by Licklider who authored the paper 'Man-Computer Symbiosis, this is the notion that computers are men can work together to formulate decisions and controlling complex situations. It is interesting to think of computers as partners able to assist humanity.  The transformation of information and the survival of the (aesthetically) fittest also form a theme in digital art. I think that this is an interesting theme in that the internet could easily become a form of information only, and have no artistic value to it at all. But i think that humans are such visual beings that websites will always have to have an aesthetic value to attract an audience. The internet is too good of a means for the exposure of artistic expression for it to become a means for information only. I really like the piece A-volve. I think the interactive program was very advanced for the time. There are also a few other projects like A-volve that follow the rules of genetics and natural selection to make life. I like this chapter because it really explored artificial intelligence and how it can improve in the future.
