I would say it depends on what is being talked about. I would say as always this becomes the issue of what is art? And To me it is an issue of intent. Artists that are using technology to their advantage are still artists and are still expressing considered unique ideas and to me this is regardless of how their work is or is not produced.<br />If an item is being mass produced and is being made only as a commodity to be used and sold and there is not intellectual intent behind it then to me this is not art but product. <br /><br />In addition if someone is being paid for their skill as a craftperson that is different then if they are creating something original. Just my 2 cents.<br /><br />For instance when I have been hired to make a product for a video shoot or company. Though I am an artist I do not consider this work art as it is being made simply with the goal to be sold as a commodity and it has no "idea" behind it other then "pretty" design.Joetta M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00785388460868335362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405079155556980368.post-12161628391756115042011-07-09T18:14:26.166-07:002011-07-09T18:14:26.166-07:00I was lucky to see Joe Cunnigham's quilts when...I was lucky to see Joe Cunnigham's quilts when he was the Artist in Residence at the de Young in San Francisco.

Makes me wonder why these quilts made in America are art, and those machine quilted in China are not. An issue of privilege, perhaps?Yasmin Saburhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697637464662114506noreply@blogger.com
