MoMI

The Museum of the Moving Image, located in Kaufman Astoria Studios, showcases the history and art of film, television, video games, and other digital media. In essence, a lot of the museum showed how creating video games, film, television and other moving visual art has progressed. It has become easier to produce but in many other ways became a lot more intricate. Seeing how so much of the production had become easier to do generally, it allowed for intricate work. This is seen almost all over the place in regards to sound mixing and design, stop-motion animation, general animation, recording of both video and sound, and video editing to name a few. In many ways, this can encourage a lot of progression and advancement for two reasons. First, since the art is easier and generally cheaper to create, that means the volume of it will exceed. A larger volume means that more innovative and masterful work will get made even though that also means that more mediocre and subpar work will get made as well. Second, advancements in technology means that one can push the limits of art, in these areas specifically, to entirely new levels. Since one can do more than what was previously possible, art that could never have been dreamed of before can get made. But one can also say that is just the natural progression of art. It is one of perpetual innovation and creativity. It is one where boundaries and limits are routinely crossed, and new experiences and mindsets are created.
