With the
Museum of Modern Art having announced its intention to include digital interactive entertainment to the permanent collection, there is no question that physical manipulation of material substances remains a prominent component of the definition of art in this space age of human history. Prophecy or not, the stasis of this current civilization beyond the next few weeks is still in flux.
There are far more tangible clues to explain and identify the past than creative leaps of faith (which are in themselves not entirely a laughing matter, of course) - telltale remnants from preceding societies have endured until future generations discover and attempt to comprehend their meanings. Art, when done well, is capable of capturing incidentals and fundamentals that reflect the creator's environment.

Like any reasonably organic resource, fixed technology has its own life cycle that, when imaginatively explored and utilized, runs the course until tomorrow simply leaves everything behind. Making art means letting everybody know what's on your mind, so it's good that someone like Leonardo da Vinci didn't become a shoe cobbler instead.
