An art form is defined by its tools. The tools give an art form its grammar. If the nature of a tool means it’s easy to perform one action or express one idea, and harder to perform another, the easier option will become more common. This is why so few landscape painters work in 3D, and why choreographers aren’t interested in bowls of fruit. In this way, our tools have a greater influence on the work they’re put into producing than you may realize. They can limit our creative choices at the same time they extend them.
