The dominating and most important person in the art world today is the art dealer. ln many publications on “computer art” we read complaints that “real” artists do not have access to computers because of the forbidding expense of the machine, and because of the artists’ lack of knowledge in programming. Questions like “is a computer creative” or “is a computer an artist” or the Iike should not be considered serious questions, period. Computers can and should be used in art in order to draw attention to new circumstances and connections and to forget “art”. There is no need for the production of more works of art, particularly no need for “computer art”.
