I do understand the idea behind free open software, but at a certain degree it becomes political more than about creativity.
If, by following some restrictive pattern of free software ,the artist is removed from some major tools to create - there seems to go against the idea. I don't see much 'free' in the 3d acceleration card - so what does it leaves me with if my creative impulse is leading me toward massively exploiting 3d acceleration? For me to a certain extent there is politic and there is art. They both affect each other and for me I think the creative impulse has to go beyond these limitation. Already taking a stance against apple and Microsoft by using open source in the OS and all the tools is already a big shift, having the purity of everything should be 'free' seems like ideological extremism that doesn't serve much purpose apart for self glorification at the end of the day. In the end what I think is important to look at is what block the creative impulse, if it's big corporation with expensive software and closed source tool that fill all the market block the creative impulse, then lets work against these flow. In the other hand if being 'free' means to block some creative impulse then what is the benefit from that. I think the middle path is more interesting for me at the moment. All that being said ~ that is how I feel this morning, it might change with time ;) And would be really interested to read about what 'free' software can support as far as 3d acceleration with some humph to it! I think we are all doing a great job, some are more at one extreme and some are more to another extreme, but we all seems to want to bring a new awareness to computational art. light On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 3:04 PM, jaromil <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA256 > > On Mon, Sep 27, 2010 at 02:10:09PM -0300, Bernardo Barros wrote: > > hi jaromil, > > > > I'm glad that such a project exists!
