Earning money by teaching has been common and honourable for artists, compromising their time but not their art. The role of technology in the arts has brought new academic settings for artists. Art work is subject to the standards of research, and gets distorted. Some conferences and research seem based on naive notions that art is about expression, beauty, emotion and now communication. More like oblique and evocative. Academic freedom and artistic freedom are important and different.
