CNC and knife production

singularity35 said:
Does the tool used to create art make the creation any less? If an artist changes media from oil paints to watercolor, is the painting any less artful? When a knife maker changes from hammer and tongs to a CNC machine, he is still translating his artistic vision into reality. Is the artistic process then diminished?

I remember when digital photography started to take hold many purists were arguing that it was not an art form anymore because pictures could be worked on in post-production (as if negatives or slides could not :rolleyes:). Nowadays nobody seems to mind and most photographers have switched to digital and that technological leap has opened up new horizons.
