What I liked the most about Golan Levin's interview is how he relates art and computing technology to the real world. He describes the importance of knowing how to use computer programming and video editing, and how those can be applied to life. During high school and occasionally during college I'll find myself sitting in class asking "how is this going to help me in the future? Is this actually relevant to life?" Levin mentions how being in high school and especially being in college, it is necessary to become familiar with programming and computer technology. That is where the world is going. Society today revolves around technology, and the influence of technology will only expand. In order to survive and be successful in today's world, people need to recognize the importance of technology.
I also enjoyed how Levin's face was broken down into technological units on the screen as he gave the interview. It was a nice added touch to emphasize his point; digital programming appears in everyday life all the time and we need to start getting familiar with it. As he speaks, his face is broken down into smaller, simpler units so he no longer looks human, but he looks like a technological invention or a hologram or something. It basically just reinforces the importance, and the beauty, or technology and computer programming.
