And I see a lot of the early ages of media art that was collected so much later in the game.

And it's still fascinating because it's the opportunity to see an evolution in progress.

Well, there's another aspect to that as well, which is that I don't think that we need to be afraid of technology.

And people who are doing it really well should be in a museum, and it should be sitting there right next to a marble sculpture or a crafted painting and whatnot, because you're seeing different types of true skill and value, and it actually lifts the value of those other things when you see them all in context.

Yeah.

A story is a story is a story.

And if it's a great object, it's going to survive that.

I wish for TED that we would be able to see many more of those handcrafted things next to some of these AI things.

Right.

Because I think it enriches both stories.

And I think it's that layering of information again, that now you're looking at this and the fact that it's seamless, the fact that you're sort of peering through these different lenses, you can sense it and you don't know where it happens, that makes it more magical.

So how much do you care whether people are coming to the films because they're romanced by the technology or that they're drawn to the story or...

What do you see as the limitations now?

It must transform acting.

You can really put people there.

I mean, that's what art is.

You're walking through.

You wouldn't put the piece in the museum if there wasn't some kind of an emotional human resonance to it.

So I think that's the glory of what a museum exhibition can be.

I really love trying to create sort of hidden connections between things in the exhibitions as well.
