We are pushing buttons,changing,aranging pixels on an 20" screen....and we are doing this in the boundary of a program created by Planetside... maybe even Matt  itself doesn't know where the limits are...but you know what i mean...
Christo  is changing the real landscape.
Maybe he would not call  what we do art...

I never called art my works with TG2.
And I am always very dubious when I heard someone calling himself an artist doing TG2 (not only TG2 but a lot of other stuff)...
To be honest, I think very few in here can be called artists, to my humble point of view. I am not going to enumerate people I consider as artists (I am afraid to forget someone and to upset those I won't consider as artist)

So how would you define art then Seth? Given that photographers who work seriously in landscapes sometimes style themselves "fine art photographers"?

İ think i know what Seth is trying to say.

Years ago (15-20?) i had a conversation with a friend(long story) he asked: How much dpi does a picture to be ,to considered as art?
(The resolution of pictures were realy low  at these times)

I said : Art is not evaluated with dpi.  

İt is not the same as we talk here...But i have sean many long threads and there are many books about this. İt is realy not easy to define.

Good luck

A Supreme Court Justice once said, "I may not be able to define pornography, but I know it when I see it." Art is defined in much the same way. Also, what I like as art, you might think was rubbish. There are many things in modern art museums I look at and say to myself, 'huh?'
I consider myself an artist, but not a good artist. More of a 'barn painter'.

I sometimes consider myself as a texture artist or a Photoshop artist. Sometimes even a "digital 3D" artist with Anim8or.

I used drawing pens (rapido?). For many it's not a artistik thing but i liked it. İf i can find my old pictures(black and white) my new TG2 render will be one of these old things.İ will atach the old one too.
