Golan Levin had a very interesting interview about how technology is becoming the future of art. He goes over a great deal of new technology such as 3D printing and different types of cameras. In the meantime he is doing his entire presentation with a video effect in which makes him look three dimensional with small lines modeling the depths of his body. He also dives into the value of a degree in which he believes that making the connections in something you like doing is the most important thing. The most interesting thing I found from the interview is his disbelief in singularity, the belief that technology will surpass the intelligence of humans. Personally, I believe we are a hell of a lot closer to achieving singularity than most people think with technology growth over the last decade. Technology will continue to grow at compounding rates every year.
Golan Levin has many cool projects on his website for all fans of art at any age demographic. The project of his that I reviewed on the website was Finger Spies where he dressed up his friends fingers as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Van Eyck and took pictures of them doing various things. I thought it was a really cool project. Very strange but unique.
