The multiple perspectives included in one digital image far surpass Cubist efforts. The calculations that manipulate visual data distributions can be so complex that results are unpredictable which lead to unexpected interesting results. One approach to computer art processing is to be parsimonious in the selection of commands and detail modification. Like calligraphy, part of the beauty of the mark mahy be simplicity and degree of control of the pixels. It is easy to be complex visually with the computer but difficult to be beautiful yet simplistic.
Advanced systems use antialiasing to smooth out contour lines.
Criticism of no soul in computer graphics is the fault of the artist, not the machine. It is exciting to do an image that cannot be done again with the same program. It is artistic success to create results with a program not designed to create as such results. Working with such a powerful design tool as the computer moves the artist into areas of aesthetic experimentation he would not otherwise have considered with traditional media. The history of computer graphics is a progressive tendency from mathematical functionalism to natural realism.
