<x-charset ISO-8859-1> Dans un courrier datÈ du 15/02/01 14:30:12, kristianthomas@hotmail.com a Ècrit : <<its not a question of if dancers should/are using technology...because these days they are...thats what the performing arts is. its just how well its done how immersive relevent to local culture and not just geeks on computers>> I'm not sure which days are "these days". Loie Fuller was in the forefront of technology a hundred years ago. The theatre has always used technology. History has no turning point. Technology has not suddenly become capable of crossing the line into real art. Computers will certainly one day be capable of creating art - that will come the day that computers become capable of wanting to see art. Sometimes technology comes across as a gimmick - and even that is not bad - if its gimmicky presence serves the work. Good work doesn't need technology. And technology serves good work. Really good work always escapes the rules. That's the problem with artists - as soon as you tell them how things are, they start creating another reality. </x-charset>
