While waiting during image processing sequences, the mind is freed from controlling manual detail execution to thinking ahead as to what image transformation is needed next. So the solution is to output as paintings throught the use of others' hands, maintaining faithfulness to the original digital imagery. A satisfactory image is simultaneously a completed work of art as well as raw materials for the next work session. Computer art evolves through a succession of generations. Any segment of a previous image can be dissected out from the original and serve as seeding for the development of a new work of art.
Computers create work for artists.
Computers are the msot efficient way to analyze color relationships. In itself computer graphics serves merely as any other art medium. It provides material with which to convey an artist's idea or express a feeling. Artists select materials for art making which have in themselves pleasing physical qualities. We like marble, bronze, clay, paint for each's visceral qualities.
