IA: I would like to know what you think of the new form of art that has been born with technology and the use of CG and computers to produce art. What does it bring that other art forms can’t, and in the contrary?

TN: I mentioned before the endless possibilities and flexibility, but every art form has its own characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and levels of expressions. It’s not important if your form of art is technically the most advanced or if it is old fashioned, it’s just important that it motivates you and brings the most out of your ideas, which is in my case the digital platform. It’s the same process as in the times when photography or TV was invented. First, there is a lot of critique, and sometimes even fear, towards the new tools, and it was not accepted as “true” art from the beginning, but after a while the borders between the classical and the new disciplines disappeared and we are in the middle of this process with digital art right now. We just have to be careful that the endless possibilities don’t lead us to endless boredom, because too many possibilities sometimes can mislead digital artists to arbitrariness.

IA: What's your own definition of art?

TN: For me art is like a big game of communication and influence between people: We create something, not only for ourselves, but to show it to other people, enjoy the reaction of the audience and try to influence. So it’s like another form of communication, like talking to each other, but sometimes more powerful, more difficult, more international, more playful and more subtle at the same time. In fact, I rarely think about theoretical definitions, I just do what crosses my mind and go where my feelings lead me.
