After seeing the fascinating, technologically spectacular, Spiderman-2,
I wondered how art, in general, survives, especially art and technology.

> There is NO connection between money and artist quality.
Agreed. But there is a clear connection between money and technology -
at least in the sense that the term is used by practitioners here.
I'm not inclined to bitch about technology being expensive; I'm more
inclined to bitch that (access to) expensive technology is (a) the
reason that some people make work or (b) the reason that some work
achieves profile.
I'm actually rather a fan of old, cheap, simple technology. There's a
growing movement of using obsolete consumer gear in experimental music
projects; perhaps dance technology practitioners could constructively
think along the same lines (as a creative process as much as for reasons
of economy). Perhaps this might help people to look beyond the
technology and into the art?
