It was once said that the literary idealist looked at the front of a house and the naturalist went around back and looked at the garbage. It wouldn't be unfair to say that the "art and technology" websites are our idealists, never daring to acknowledge that the internet is a sewer out of which the occasional blossom of "art" emerges. But who are our naturalists?
