Complicated.... There's a little old lady....really. She's got 5 assistants (all very able and talented). She say's, "let's make a nude standing". They make it for her. Between naps and guests she says..."That's it"! "I love it"! The model is scanned and it's file is shipped to abroad. Here it is laser pointed and carved into a pure white block of marble. Corrected and even signed(her name) by guys whose great great great grandfathers did the same thing without pcs. It is shipped back to her studio and after champagne, it is purchased by a repeat buyer on the spot for a huge sum. Newspaper articles rave... So,,, what is the art? What is the craft? Who is the artist? Or, is it all just a small part of a very big lie or, some new truth? A techno blur on old traditions and values...? Eat it Breath it Excell at it and It becomes valid. And then, you'll no longer have time to ask the question.
