Artists have the power' is a video documentary you can watch online in HD if you have 80 minutes. Here is the link: http://vimeo.com/34608191
I watched it and it is real interesting. It is about how new techniques are used to make artistic changes.
It is not a documentary about design or engraving, in particular it is more about images and sound, so still about emotions and that is what Art really is about.
So after watching it, the idea popped up again, why not engrave something “NEW†and innovate, instead of the classic Acanthus scrolls that are done for so many decades.
I understand that gun engraving have a long history and are catalogued as “classic†but there is more to engrave than just guns and knives.
In a way our medium is just design with a graver on metal but still it is about “imagesâ€. Perhaps to keep the craft alive, we need to innovate.
This could be interesting to all of us if we share some ideas on this.
