I reckon one learns it better in real life, not all schools are enough good
to teach you that. :)

@ Derek: Agree with you, this is perhaps the focal point here. However, I
would suggest to observe the same miscommunication not only from a
pragmatical point of view (the artist might not know how to properly code
something) but also from a conceptual perspective.

Maybe the artist does not always need to perfectly know how to code
something, but the conceptual relevance of a work can be unveiled and
successfully diffused even if somehow a work lacks of technical consistence,
or does not fulfil requirements of a scientific paper.

Fortunately today's strands of "art" are manifold. Programmers are artists,
artists are programmers, cinema directors become artists, sound artists
become programmers, and so on...
Art itself is mutating, increasingly faster since the New Media global wave.
But this is probably OT already :P
