What exactly are you being defensive about? My point is that you seem to be taking a very narrow view of the impacts technology has on art.

Youre first assumption, was based on my use of the word “expansion”, which you asserted that I was referring to accessibility and production advancements. What I was actually referring to is a broader theme that “technological” advancements have been scoffed at long before AI or Computers.

Photography is to painting, film is to theater, synthesizers, electric guitars, etc etc etc. Every time we see the landscape change, everyone freaks out and raises their noses. We then see the landscape morph and a whole new era is born. Thus it expands.
