Re: Willard McCarty's question about Comp. Sci. and the humanities
Do not forget special effects. Making magic via games and the movies
is definitely every comp. sci. student's dream job. Although as a
quest for meaning I am personally finding such things less and less
fulfilling.
Just as a stray thought, from someone firmly straddling both camps
(witness my "fiction author" and "irregular faculty" personas below)
-- "what's the desirable". That is, what's the artistic equivalent of
the "deliverable". End products may be the by products.
