Hi,
I'm actually hoping that there is some mistranslation here (although what would Deleuze say about that eh?).
High & Low Art - I thought that was played out a loooong time a g o.
Really unsure where you're coming from Andras and that's with giving you the benefit of the doubt (my Hungarian is appalling btw) but you are most definitely misquoting me.
Hey, I was not quoting you. I was basically replying to Matju's mail which was basically replying to mine, in which I was trying to explain my idea about the importance of Pd staying accessible for amateurs, and one of the expressions I used the describe the "amateurs" was "low-end".
Sorry if I made any confusion, by the time we arrived to "low-end" and "high-end" I was not having your previous posting on my mind any more. Clearly, you were talking about something else when I, sort of by-the-way, said "Pd's editing and programming features shall stay open and continue to support the less professional and then all will be good." I meant nothing more, nothing less, and especially nothing personal.
BTW- I never at any point said I have a problem with 'advanced topics'. Ever. Well tbh I prefer the 'here's 3 objects now go and form a laptop ensemble' approach to coding but that's nothing to do with Luddism.
As a 'full-time' 'professional' 'artist' who 'works' exlusively with 'Pd' as well as doing 'research' in 'academia' I am 'happily' 'high' most of the 'time' with occasional cranky but insightful 'low' moments.
Still don't really get your point, sorry.
Julian
