‘The Lament for Icarus 2020’ is one of my digital-artwork, created in 2D/3D softwares. It’s my way of paying homage to the classicist artist Herbert James Draper. we can still comprehend the deep meaning contained in Greek mythology.

I don’t know the answer but I do know that I enjoy a live concert or play because of the talent on display. There’s something special about seeing it happen in real time. I think real art might point to something similar.
While I agree, I also wonder how much art has not been conceived as the person with the idea had no way to realise it. We now have tools that non artists can use to create art. A lot is awful, but some is wonderful. When photography first started, it was not considered art.
