Computers and art

Computers are not just a medium for creating art. They are a medium for creating media for creating art.

Instead of building tools and instruments only in the physical world, we can use computers to make up our own alternate worlds, in which a far greater number of tools and instruments become possible.

But does this actually advance art? When we vastly increase the possibility space of new media, are we actually serving the purposes of art?

I have no idea what the right answer is. But it seems like an important question to ask.
