Aids Quote by Michael Craig-Martin
“I have been using the computer as a work aid since the mid-90's. It is extraordinarily well suited to how I think and work and has transformed my practice. Nearly everything I have done in the past 15 years would have been impossible without it. I use the computer for drawing, composing and colour planning everything, from postage stamps to paintings to architectural-scale installations.”

![“The opportunity to use a computer is great when it is used as one component, or when someone is working on his or her own sounds and approaches. I think it actually has the same restrictions as using the piano or any other instrument in [a traditional] way.” quote by Volker Bertelmann](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/215/volker-bertelmann-21848_approach_the-opportunity-to-use-a-computer-is-gre_1931939.jpg)
![“[I] don't want people to see it [paintings] as a specific intention on my part. If somebody has that interest in these objects, of course they can see that, but from my own point of view, I'd rather stay as neutral as possible.” quote by Michael Craig-Martin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/2c8/michael-craig-martin-9157_courses_i-don-t-want-people-to-see-it-paintings_421873.jpg)
