drawing

first i have to say it is disturbing to get onto this blog only to find that ant is reading the telegraph.

the issue of drawing is an interesting one. its also the most contentious proposition i would argue out of ant's list - the other things re google etc do seem quite clear, but the role of the architect is more troubling i think. i am not saying it is wrong, it is just more speculative. the question then would be how much do you need to make this point to prove your point?

notwithstanding the above, i think the bill viola reference is a good one (this exhibition came to oz too) and i am certainly convinced that an argument against printed representations in favour of digital representations with some embedded intelligence is a good angle. these images are also almost always more beautiful on the screen than when printed anyway.
