Bronac's humorous and enlightening anecdote reminds me of an event 20 or so years ago at ISEA Helsinki. I had attended a late night presentation by Larry Cuba of his exquisite and pioneering computer animations. As I walked out (in a state of bliss!) a young couple were ahead of me and one asked the other what they thought? They replied "boring old wire frame stuff".
Best to all
Paul
