So why art?<p><i>I also did it for philosophical reasons. I believe that all digitized information past and present will be inevitably become known &amp; public post facto. It&#x27;s the nature of information &amp; knowledge in our technological world to distribute itself until the world converges on total information omnipresence. So if, in the end, all [digitized] information is known, then there is no point in hiding information.
