There is something really weird and psychotic about, here's this technology that lets you render anything you can imagine in any way you can imagine, and what we keep trying to do is copy the way we already perceive the world as closely as possible. I wonder if this urge to copy reality is borne out of our biological urge to reproduce. Otherwise why would we find something as boring and unimaginative as photorealism so pleasing?
