Art is about communicating emotion via technology, he said. So it fuels creative thinking not only in terms of content, but also execution. It’s been the case since early cave paintings and Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel frescoes.

And that very artistic process can lead to tech that can be highly monetized; in other words, innovation.
