Really, if you chose Computers, you do programming.
If you chose art, you do picassi-f**king-o

I don't understand what you're trying to say by this Viper. Care to elaborate?

Here's a point; I've been into the game development groove since the early 90's, taught myself how to program C and 80x86 32-bit Assembler, learned pixel sprite creation with limited game palettes, how computer graphics work from the inside out, stuck my nose into midi music players and multi-channel digital sound resamplers/players, data/image compression, 3d graphics and real-time 3d rendering, etc... pretty much everything dealing with game developement. And now I mainly stick with art, "painting" in photoshop, because I prefer (and am best at) it to other hobbies and tasks. So I don't think putting barriers between art and computers mean anything, as I have broken those barriers many times, and feel rather comfortable painting on my computer, and consider it as valid as any other type of medium.

For me, there is nothing but ideologies sepperating the computer from "art".

Just my oppinion.

Hmm.. maybe ViPeRIII forgot to tell us that he's is refering to school and the way they seperate computers and art. (?) Because it's often true in that case. However, in the real world,(like frost has done for himself) you just do whatever the fuck you want to do.
