[Frameworks] unsettling possibilities

[marilyn brakhage]

Interesting article with complex social, biological, as well as  
aesthetic implications into the future.  . . . Obviously, capturing  
imagery is a far cry from understanding the complexities of 'thought,'  
and it's still very futuristic, but as we conceivably 'think' to each  
other, or project our thought/images, there would have to be resultant  
changes in consciousness, and the role of the artist would necessarily  
be re-defined along with everything/everyone else.  "Direct" visual  
art?  Ultimate loss of the artisanal? And/or a revitalizing of same?   
I realize this has little or no immediate relevance to anyone here  
(probably), but it showed up in my email and I just thought some  
frameworkers would possibly find it interesting as well:
