KR: How do you think new technologies are going to influence artmaking in the 
future? 
GONZO247: Technology is a double-edged sword. We have people that are now relying on AI to 
come up with the visuals of creative content, saying it was their idea, and using AI to help put an 
image to the idea. I understand that, but you can’t try to pass that off as art. 
But on the flip side, I think 
with everything going digital 
there’s a whole new world 
of projection mapping where 
static spaces come to life 
through moving digital light 
and art. A young person 
might not know how to draw, 
but 
they’re 
creative 
and 
good at computers. Through 
projection mapping there are 
so many different ways to use 
that creativity in something 
that they’re familiar with or 
good at.
I think technology is something that can be used as long as the technology is used in harmony with 
the intent. Don’t necessarily rely on it, because you have to learn the rules before you can break 
them. I would suggest that you should know how to do these things on your own, because what 
happens when the power goes out? What happens when there’s no internet or Wi-Fi? You still have 
to create something, and you have to be able to rely on your skills.
