Any radically new tool entering the art timeline is an interesting
event. Photography radically changed the art world, but primarily
indirectly - it changed other mediums more than it changed imagery
as reproduced by camera & film. But all photographers untill relatively
recently were expected to know the tech down to the level of the
chemistry involved.
As for the brand-shiny-new world of computer graphics art - it's
still mostly at the summer-session-before-freshman-year level. :-)
