I have been/am wondering what the urge, the need to physically create is. Is this longing to use the hands and fully embody an experience (despite technology) something that could fade away through the process of evolution / change? Currently we need to make more than we need what is made. (perhaps this isn't true) What is the next era of human evolution? What in us will be thought crude, what surprisingly advanced "for our time"? Nuance. Where does it figure?
The funny thing about technology is that it often only mimics reality, although its creators think it is original. Don't many already have an influence beyond "death". Can't we feel the being of loved ones in their books and objects?
What I like about the article is the talk about alternate forms of communication. Instead of responding only verbally, responding tonally. Expanded means of expression expanding ways of experiencing reality.
the idea we need to make more than we need what is made is perhaps true for the creator but past that is unknown from the standpoint of that same creator. One never knows how something may affect another. The gravity of a work can be astounding even if it reaches only one person, if that person "carries the work forward" somehow. But in this sense it seems better to assume that no effect is guarenteed to the maker. Much like the Samurai principle of considering oneself already dead in order to carry out right action
