Great interview with George Lucas (youtube.com)

This Charlie Rose <a href=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl2zoEEOUCg>interview</a> of George Lucas has some really interesting parts about how art is technology. That is, technology is simply a way to realize a vision - an artistic vision in George Lucas' case. I think the particularly interesting stuff is around 23:30 and 27:00. Lots of parallels with Hackers and Painters.

This Charlie Rose of George Lucas has some really interesting parts about how art is technology. That is, technology as a way to realize a vision - an artistic vision in George Lucas' case. I think the particularly interesting stuff is around 23:30 and 27:00. Reminded me of Hackers and Painters.

I didn't watch the video (yet), but your comment makes me think of my experience with artists with whom I've been impressed: A lot of them are really good technicians in the technical areas pertaining to their art.

Somehow, when I grew up the overall message I received regarding art seemed to want to separate the "creative" from the technique. It just isn't so. It takes a lot of technique to reliably record the creative.
