If I think of shortcuts using tech for art not as cheating, but as delegation, my anxiety about it goes way down. It's still my idea, it's still my vision, I'm just telling the tech what to do, like an assistant, and it does it, it's still mine, and it's more efficient. The problem comes when I don't know how to use the tech fully.
@tarperfume Yes, in my head also, I imagine myself as a director, or a planner, creating a play or event, I put things where they need to go, I may not have blown up every single balloon, or harvested the rubber and made the latex, but it's still my event, my plan, my show.
