Best possible image and sound quality, in the sense of 2D or 3D
Technology is value-neutral. When a technologist says the image is the best, the visual quality is all that there is. (I digged out my old DVDs and was appalled by the poor visual quality. But just 20 years ago, DVD was the equivalent of best visual quality.) Today’s human beings can enjoy a fidelity of visual and audio representation that is quickly approaching the biological limits of the human senses. We are truly very close to the perfect technology that can reproduce every possible pixel and sound bit and its endless combinations.
And the software rendering of imagery and animation is fastly approaching 3D, even on a small 2D screen. This has almost an immediate conclusion: the best image should also be in 3D. We almost forget all the efforts we have made to hear the best possible sound/music, by making our sound speakers large or earpods small. Today’s technical representation of sound is almost true to 3 dimentional, from Hi-Fi to Real-Fi.
We should make the same efforts on images and animations.
Technology can do a little more, and some other thought
Art is not all about the best visual or sound quality. We are not talking about the definition of art here. You know what is art when you see, hear or sense it. It’s a human creation and requires human faculty to experience with. Technology can enhance this experience on the onset and in the outside. What art really touches is inside a human being.
