Lantz Education of tech post 2

This one is kind of a free for all but I suppose it still has to have some reference to technology. When I think of technology I think of it in an extremely loose context. Yes, it can be computers and Apps and what have you… but I also think of the 3D pens, the 3D printers, cameras, and videos and mechanisms in general. I do this because how I look at things is everything has an art form.  They are combinations of subjects to create something new, something more advanced, and something more interesting to think about. Sure technology can help make things easier, organized and cleaner, but what else can it do?

Why am I talking about this? Well…
This weekend I saw a movie that was completely created by 125 oil painters, using simply oil paintings and their paint skills. It was called "Loving Vincent."

It was by no means a realistic telling of the artist Vincent Van Gogh's last part of his life.  However it did take care for including some accuracy from his letters as well as plausible theories for the end of his life told in his very own medium. Putting these ideas for a movie is not by any means new. (Think any stop motion movie you have seen)  This idea is not new yet somehow it still is remarkable because without technology and recording this would never have happened.  It came to exist because of the options, advancements, and interests in pushing the typical boundaries for mediums that are fairly well known.


Thinking creatively when using technology, I think will create the most remarkable advancement in everyone for the future.
