Is Art Limited?

[Hoofhurr]

I'm not sure what you're getting at Vllad. It's getting fairly existential. Is Bach really that different from Mozart? Would you say they weren't being original each their own? Their works both have roots in the same mathematical structure but managed to come up with some really beautiful work. I don't understand your definition of original. There is a lot of original sounding stuff out there.

The new genre of Zen video games is really original as well. So are games like Rock Band. I think you are viewing art history as a series of discreet innovations when they are certainly more evolutionary in nature. If there are gaps in art history it's because their evidence is lost and not because something didn't fill those gaps.

Your questions seem more about new technologies replacing the old and the relevancy of old technologies and not the relevancy of the art itself.
