Yes, Len Lye's progressive work has now been superseded by technology. It is a shame really that younger people now take for granted what we see and saw as very clever. Artistic effects in films for example, ones that we marvelled at are now just ordinary. Kids today see ads on TV and 'Matrix-type' films featuring outstanding special effects and take them for granted, no longer have that sense of awe. Another example of the dumbing down of modern living I guess.
