I don't usually comment on this debate, but I'm finally going to put my two cents in: If you follow the line of reasoning that art generated "in" a computer is not art because the computer does the work, then Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana must not be artists because their guitars do the work and they of course don't craft their own instruments. I wonder if my work would gain any credibility with these snobs if they knew I built my own system?
