The question was, "Question: Do you think that technological advances have helped make the art world less elitist? Has it helped furthered the arts? Caused our society to pay mor attention to it? Or has it overshadowed it/demoralized it?"
While the application is available, it is safe to say that the general population of iphone and itouch users are far too busy updating facebook, checking twitter or playing a repetitive game to appreciate art. And while art should not be taken too seriously, it shouldn't be taken as a joke either and it seems like Apple is just turing art appreciation into a fad that will soon disappear.
But I do not think it is fair of me to be so pessimistic on the topic. I think it would be wonderful if someone were to first be exposed to the art world this way and be inspired to travel and see the works of art in person. This would be the exception to it but we also can not forget that we have mentioned in class that seeing the Mona Lisa on a projector in class will numb a person to the significant form.
Question: Is there another way of looking at this more optimistically and is the possibility of art dying out like a fad in the future plausible?
