Update on thesis and supporting claims

[Still in progress]

My topic will still be digitization, and i’m not sure if I should narrow down it more yet.

“Digitization has helped art but cannot improve it, so digitization should be used as a mean  and not an end.”

One claim is that the digitization has a significant effect on art and the development of it. Art is better off as a physical process, and working on it in a digital manner does not produce the same effect.

Art is still popular in the sense that art pieces are still sold around, so having the physical piece is still important. Art is not limited to paintings though, so more can be said.

  1. Wow your development has taken a different turn than what I expected and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised! This is definitely a much more narrow and focused topic than what you had projected before. One caution that I would advise you to take though is that for many people, art is a touchy subject because it is a really subjective topic. There are many counter arguments that could be made like how digitization of art does not devalue the purpose of art and could even spawn more creativity than traditional art. I agree that more can be said about art in general than about paintings but I’m also afraid that too much could be said about that. Maybe you could focus on paintings or still art as opposed to maybe dance or performance art. You have definitely moved in a good direction though and there’s a lot of good material to work with.
